secular laws versus islamic and religious laws.

what I think is never taken into account is the reality that any religion has it own -laws-called doctrines, when the secular world starts to undestand that catholics with their pedophile activity only judge any secular as a critic of the catholic doctrine and the priest who are not under secular laws IN THE EYES OF catholic doctrine, the same applies to sicentology and their doctrine and judgements, the muslim adherents of islam are even greater example of their obediance to their islamic doctrines, and secularists really need to get a grip on the -MEANING OF THE WORD- ISLAM- =OBEDIANCE, what they must be obediant to is the TEACHINGS OF THE KORAN AND THE PROPHET MUHAMMOND. untill that is recognized by westerners we cannot come to grips with what we call bad behaviour, terror,anti isreal acts, etc, to muslims its all part and parcel of the islamic koranic beliefs of the establishment of a world caliphate, this is not applicable to islam only, the catholic church- again the meaning of catholic=universal =universal church, or world of one catholic church and doctrine of all peoples, is working towards in the form of ecumenism=all christian religions under one pope and all other religions in submission to the pope,

and again I stress most religions have this common belief, the crucial point here is that those who wish to join these movements ought to be allowed to do so. those who use force, manipulation,or cultural beliefs etc to make others join their religion are only proving to one and all that there religion is not good enough to capture the heart and soul of thinking persons. so to my thinking the term JIHAD must equate to all and everything that does not conform to the teachings of the koran, be that personal, national,or international beliefs.
