The greater jihad? Really?

JIhad means holy war period

>you said "Islam's inability to bring peace to its own" What do you mean?

It means that islam is a violent religion and your Hindu ancestors were brutalized by islam

>Islam - the name means submission a derivative from PEACE Salam - means Peace When we meet some one we say SALAM - means peace

the word islam and salam have nothing in common with the word islam except they share a common root. and you are ignorant

>Islam is pure and peaceful within itself

Really? Then why was Muhammad an Arabian warlord and caravan raider? And why is his biography by Waqidi is called al-maghazi or the invasions? and how about al-futuh al-islamiyya or the muslim crusades? and how about the 80 million Hindus your ancestors that were killed by Muslims in cold blood and how about the Armenian genocide and these are only a few examples?

>All information and all rules and laws are clear in it, it confirms what Moses brought in the ten commandments.

Really? so where does it say in the 10 commandments anything about the mafia tax aka al-jizya or kill the this and fight that?

>So what do you mean it did not bring peace to its ownIf you watch the film "Muhammad, Legacy of a Prophet" you will see a different story

Oh we know his legacy very well and you are a victim of it.

>watch also the movie "The Messenge" which was produced in 1976These two works are very very near to what Islam is and how it started. you will understand that Islam is a peaceful religion promote peaceful solusions to issues better than quarrel

Really? Oh the religion of peace (sic)?

>when Muslims returned lefrom Jihad, they were proud. But then Muhammad told them you have come from the lesser Jihad to the greater Jihad, the people asked him,

So where does it say in the Qur'an anything about al-jihad al-kabeer and al-jihad al-sagheer? Let me help you: you will never find either terms in the Qur'an.

> is there Jihad better and greater than in the Battle, he said yes, the best Jihad is the self jihad (The word Jihad means Struggle, strife), it does not mean war. so as you can see Self Jihad to abstain from wrong doing and from sins is much greater than going to fight in in a war.

No the word Jihad means holy war period.

The word struggle means: 3aarak or jadd

The word strife means fitna and you are ignorant

For the readers: the lazy 3Ulama invented this little gem about the greater jihad so they can justify to those Muslims that were fighting that by them sitting on their rear ends and writing that this was more important than fighting but the funny thing is they wanted their share of the loot collected from infidels (see the rules of the imam and al-ghanima in Kitab al-Jihad by Malik)

>The command by God to fight in the Quran is always against the aggressors and the people who fight and sabotage our interests.

Bogus so where does it say in ayat al-sayf: la taqtulu al-mushrikeen al-ladhinya la yuqatilunakum and where does it say in ayat al-jizya: la tuqatil ahl al-kitab al-ladhinya la yuqatilunakum?

Your claim is bogus

>And this command was revealed to Muhammad after 13 years of prophet hood.

I urge you to abandon Islam and be whole again and read a real book
