I had been taught that islam translates literally to “submit” or “submission”. Muslims are crazy enough, you don’t have to mis- represent things.
I know Beckett is reading this but a few of us have noticed how the poster is a troll always letting us know what groups are doing these protests, updating us on how many there are etc
won’t condemn these fools, said they were with ANSWER and won’t tell us what their username was before they re-registered of which they did admit they did re register.
Always seems to disappear when questions arise too why is that Beckett08?
Why not talk about other issues too?
Now the poster has jihad, I guess their version of jihad is the left wing agenda while coming on here giving us links to their lefty sites to bump up hits etc
As far as the word Jihad is concerned there is a misconception not only among the Non-Muslims, but also among some Muslims. What most people think is that any war fought by any Muslim for any reason, whether it be for his personal gains, whether it be for political gains, whether it be for language or whether it be for colour, it is called as Jihad. Jihad does not mean any war fought by any Muslim; Jihad comes from Arabic word “Jahada” which means to strive to struggle; so Jihad basically means to strive or struggle.
In Islamic context it means to strive against one’s own evil inclinations, it also means to strive to make the society better, it even includes striving in the battlefield to fight in self-defense and it also means to fight against oppression and tyranny. Therefore, it means to strive or struggle.
