I thought the article was interesting but, as you said, the part about the legitimacy of jihad was not just weird but wrong.

The author appears to be a very canny muslim apologist.

The author appears to be a very canny muslim apologist.

My take is that he is writing for a bunch of super-liberal, social-justice Catholics who want to equate the Christian God of Love with the murderous monster, Allah. But, you may have a point.

The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military - The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting. - Majid Khadduri
