Islamic Jihad lol
I laugh at the misconception of what Islamic Jihad really means...
one more thing, America's made a promise to Saudi Arabia btw. I don't remember which president, but he promised I think King Abdul-Aziz that Israel and Palestine will have peace. nice one America, you like talking a lot about history, why don't you keep to your promises and stop acting biased? supposed to help both sides but it looks like Israel is getting all the love.
Islamic Jihad is the name of a specific group of militants, but Jihad does not have to be violent. It is simply a 'striving.' I know. I've read a few books on the history of the idea of Jihad. It is only the modern radicalist jihad movement that has caused Jihad to become violent in many cases. The movement was founded by Islamic thinkers such as Sayyid Qutb in response to Islamic Apologists, and then later by Abd Al Salam Farag as a militant measure. Response to Omar's post coming after I finish my philosophy essay due tomorrow. Gahhhh so much homework...
you're a kool guy ya know. respect, you did yer homework
BTW, many if not most of the muslims don't understand what jihad means. and many think that if you see a non-muslim you must hurt them. They base their belief on the verse do no take them as your friends
they take it out of context. this means that do not accept their religion, but the Prophet STRESSED that you must be kind to the non-Muslims as proper human beings. I feel sorry for those Muslims who just think it's allowed to kill innocent people. Lastly, I have pity for those Muslims who say that it's allowed to sacrifice the lives of Muslims if you're gonna kill some non-Muslims. Like the ppl in Afghanistan, I've heard them say this. completely not allowed, killing a single innocent whether it's a Muslim or non-Muslim, is like killing the whole of humanity. saving a live of a person muslim or non-muslim is like saving the whole of humanity. :thumbsup:
