The title should have been "Spinning Islam, Part I."

So the point of this article is...... Jihad is not supposed to be a battle cry for the global caliphate and the jihadists need to get their act straight?

" Jihadism is a modern word, not something from the Quran.

That's an outright LIE.

has this "author" read the Koran and hadith? How would he explain this?

Qur’an:2:216 “Jihad (holy fighting in Allah’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims), though you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and like a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not.”

Qur’an:4:95 “Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no injurious hurt, and those who strive hard, fighting Jihad in Allah’s Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a rank higher to those who strive hard, fighting Jihad with their wealth and bodies to those who sit (at home). Unto each has Allah promised good, but He prefers Jihadists who strive hard and fight above those who sit home. He has distinguished his fighters with a huge reward.”

Bukhari:V1B2N25 [hadith] “Allah’s Apostle {mohammad] was asked, ‘What is the best deed?’ He replied, ‘To believe in Allah and His Apostle Muhammad.’ The questioner then asked, ‘What is the next best in goodness?’ He replied, ‘To participate in Jihad, religious fighting in Allah's Cause.’”

And last but not least:

Noble Qur’an:2:190 Footnote: Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.”

This "author" is yet another lying Islamic apologist trying to decieve Americans as to what the blood cult of Islam really is.

Excellent article. I look forward to Part 2. This is a short summarization of historian Mary Habeck's new book, Knowing the Enemy : Jihadist Ideology and the War on Terror.
http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=0300113064

The jihadis agree that one should only worship the true God, but they also believe that tawhid includes the idea that God is the only law giver, only he — not people, kings or states — has sovereignty. Therefore, if anyone claims to have the right to make laws, he’s actually making a religious, not political, statement. He’s saying “I’m God. I know better than God.... This implies that democracy is a foreign religion, not a political system.

This Qutbian notion is so bizarre. Allah is Sovereign. Hence Allah is Lawmaker. If the city council passes a law to stop your car at a red light, they are usurping divine power. If you stop your car at a red light, you are offering worship to the humans on the city council.

It is mind-boggling that this is what a World War is being fought over!!!!

Jihadis also believe that ... the war cannot end until the entire world has been conquered for their version of Islam. This is the defining point of the ideology of jihadism. To them, jihad is a matter for each individual since there is no authentic Islamic state to declare war. If you decide not to join them, you’ve declared yourself an unbeliever.

This is how they "excommunicate" other Muslims and declare them to be nondifferent from infidels. For them, any Muslim not killing infidels is de facto supporting people who "worship humans" by obeying human laws, and is no better than the infidel himself.

I hope Habeck's book can help explain to the people of America and our allies that this fantastical ideology is why we are fighting.
