Abstract
This article offers a discussion of issues relating to religiously inspired terrorism in religious education through the 3 key concepts of the interpretive approach. It examines representation in relation to Islam and terrorism and argues that processes of homogenization, sanitization, and reification create distortion. Issues of interpretation are discussed, including the importance of text, symbol, and ritual, and it is suggested that dialogic and hermeneutic pedagogies provide ways of deepening pupils’ understanding and engagement. Finally, matters relating to reflexivity are discussed along with issues for further consideration by religious educators.
