Dr. Pipes

It is really annoying when our leaders repeat the nonsense that Jihad means "striving to improve" and it is a spiritual idea and those that tell us that it is really holy war are either islamophobes or misguided Muslims

Well I urge any reader who know Arabic is to google الجهاد في الاسلام or (what is really) al-Jihad in islam and you will get the answer from no other than Shiekh al-Azhar and here is the web site

http://www.alazhar.gov.eg/islam/Quran/qurandb/QuranTopics.asp?ID=347

And it is all in black and white: Jihad means holy war and that is it! and as if we did not know and it also means that Sheikh al-Azhar must be a misguided Muslim!

I do not see anything about in what the fake Ahmad Rehab is saying in his bogus #Myjihad about exercise or friendship or not smoking or dieting! It is war and that is it

Oh next? I will review what the Arabic language dictionaries tell us about the meaning of the word al-jihad
