A master's thesis at the College of Education for Human Sciences at the University of Basra examined genocide and its repercussions on Islamic society until the end of the Umayyad era.
The thesis, presented by student Ahmed Taha Abdul Ali, aimed to study the phenomenon of genocide in Islamic society until the end of the Umayyad era, and to uncover its political, religious, and intellectual roots.
It focused on analyzing the authorities' methodology in employing texts and practices to suppress dissent and eliminate opponents through organized, genocidal operations.
The thesis concluded that genocide was practiced by authoritarian groups far removed from the teachings of Islam. These groups exploited their influence and position in power, using religion as a justification for their actions, using their bloodthirsty leadership as a tool. This resulted in the deaths of a large number of innocent victims, leaving profound impacts on the structure of Islamic society
