Can you ACTUALLY define Islamic Jihad in terms of what that idiot Saddam Hussein did or said?

Thats like trying to define christianity in terms of the actions of George W Bush.

Silly right?

Jihad does mean "struggle" in Islam. It is the struggle between each of whom believes that God is on their side and that the other side is of Satan.

"Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for Allah loves not transgressors." Qur'an, Chapter 2, verse 190.

Just because some powerful stupid Muslim leader did something that would DEFINATLY be known as "transgression" , one cannot call just all kinds of terrorism as Jihad. It is like viewing America to be reflected in it's President. And can you actually support that?
