Jihad is a very old idea, people in europe and america who have benefits over Muslim countries uses the idea Jihad to just try to blacken muslims. You said that there are lots of muslims who want a religious war. Thats compeletly wrong. All that bombings and stuff is not about religion or muslims. You must understand that no muslim can do such a thing. You said they commit all these atrocities in the name of Allah and this is the funniest part. They don't know nothing about Allah or being a Muslim. They are just couple of ignorant people.
you must understand that all thse things are not about being a Muslim.
And let's talk about that cartoons. Hmm.. Let's see.. How can you make all Muslims responsible for these atrocities? How can you draw Mohammed the Prophet in such idea? What if we draw Jesus "as a symbol of US" in a cartoon? That is absolutely the same thing. They are just trying to find reasons to attack Muslims.They want to conquer our land to use all our products. But one thing they don't know that we are very powerful. If they keep doing this... well.. |
Do you really mean to tell me that these Muslim fundamentalists don't commit terrrorist acts in the name of Allah? Because if you are, you're either living in a cave or everything that is written worldwide about terrorism is completely wrong.
As for your Jihad comments and how my interpretation of it was incorrect, please give me a different definition than this one
| quote: | Jihad (Arabic: جهاد jihād) is an Islamic term, from the Arabic root jhd ("to exert utmost effort, to strive, struggle"), which connotes a wide range of meanings: anything from an inward spiritual struggle to attain perfect faith to a political or militant struggle to defend or further Islam. Jihad is repeatedly used in the context of Holy War by Islamic militants and some religious leaders throughout the Middle East [1]. Some Muslims consider jihad to be the most misunderstood aspect of their religion by non-Muslims [2]. The Islamic religious legitimacy of the goals or methods of various Islamist movements who adopt the terminology of jihad is often brought into question, usually by moderate and liberal Muslims.
In much of the English speaking world, jihad is associated with the phrase "holy war"; however, the concept of jihad encompasses more than just warfare, and a more accurate translation probably would be "holy struggle", "righteous struggle" or "holy endeavour". The denotation is of a challenging or difficult, (frequently) opposed effort, made either in accomplishment or resistance.
A person who engages in any form of jihad is called a "mujahid", meaning "striver" or "struggler". This term is most often used to mean a person who engages in fighting, but, for example a Muslim struggling to memorize the Qur'an is called a mujahid. The neologism jihadist is sometimes used to describe militant Islamic groups.
Muslims generally classify jihad into two forms,jihad al-akbar, the greater jihad, is said to be the struggle against one's soul (nafs), while jihad al-asgar, the lesser jihad, is external and is in reference to physical effort and/or fighting .
Muslim scholars explained there are five kinds of jihad fi sabilillah (struggle in the cause of God). |

Now I have no problem with a lot of the concepts in here. Internal stuggle with your soul is a great thing. External struggle and imposing your beliefs on others through whatever means is not. If Muslim radicals didn't use these terms constantly to refer to their actions, maybe it wouldn't get misinterpretted by the West.
You said that these actions aren't about religion or Muslims? Please explain to me what they are about then, because the only thing that I see and hear from those who take responsibility relates to their religious beliefs. You can say that a lot of it is political, but that gets difficult to determine when religion and politics are so inter-twined in a good part of the Middle East.
OK, the the Danes wanted their products? Are you joking? They stayed out of this whole mess the US and some other Europeans started in Iraq. So they drew some cartoons depicting Mohammed and you're not allowed to draw him according to your religion. Why should those who don't follow your religion conform to it's principles? The whole point of this issue is the self-censorship that's already going on in Europe and showing how far everyone's already gone to appease Muslims by conforming so much to their beliefs that they're giving up their own ideals (free speech).
Lastly, the thing that really pisses me off about this whole thing is how the Muslim radicals who started this whole mess by spreading these cartoons throughout the Muslim community LIED to the Muslims and included cartoons that weren't published to make the Europeans seem even more demonic. The cartoons that they created, with the praying Muslim being raped by a dog, Mohammed with a pig snout, and Muhammed as a pedophile demon, were offensive. Muslims have a lot more right to complain about them, and if they were real, I'd understand the reaction a bit more. Still, burning down embassies?
