These are some of the big controversies in nonviolence theory. This brief training tool is designed to challenge and clarify your thinking about the nature of nonviolent action.. and activists have been thinking about the controversies for some time. Some controversies are in the nature of either-or arguments, some are both and, and some search for a resolution of polarized points. What this tool does is to identify some of the most important issues in the field. Controversies include: the power of love vs force and aggression, nonviolence vs pacifism, personal change vs political change, property destruction, principle vs. technique, openness vs secrecy, persuasion vs coercion, universal application of nonviolence, and anger as a basis of a campaign.

Theses include In order to be true to Islam, Muslims must utilize nonviolent action as a new mode of struggle, Modern technology of destruction renders discrimination virtually impossible at present, and Islam teaches Muslims to fight for justice with the understanding that human lives--as all parts of God's creation--are purposive and sacred.
