If you believe that all political ideologies, all religions and cultures are equal in their adherence to human rights and civil liberties and thus they are all beyond criticism, then there is no need for education to distinguish or be critical. And you will probably not like this article. The definition of jihad in mainstream Sharia books is : to war against non-Muslims, derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare, to establish the religion.(law # o9.0 p 599). In Al Azhar Islamic University it is defined as A permanent war institution against Jews, Christians and Pagans. When the word jihad is mentioned in the Koran, 97% it refers to killing, violence and war. Only 3% of the time it does not refer to violence.
This becomes complicated when Jihad is considered a main duty for the Muslim head of State. Sharia states: The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim(o9.9 p. 603.)

If a person were capable of self-rule and participatory democracy in a free republic, they wouldn’t be a muslim.
Participatory democracy presupposes that different people can have different goals, and that they can negotiate with others to each achieve their goals. In Islam, under Sharia, everything is already laid out, and there is no discussion or negotiation. There is only the determination of what the Sharia Rule is.
Self-rule is contradictory with Islam. The word "Muslim" means "slave of Allah".
