Prof Martin Nguyen of Fairfield University must be reading a different Qur'an and different Tafaseer (pl of Tafsir) of the Qur'an and a different book of Ibn Manzur's dictionary. Jihad as per the great commentaries of the Qur'an means holy war unless Muhammad, al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir were liars or ignorant or misunderstood what the Qur'an really says and now Prof Nguyen and Linda Sarsour (Sala allahu 'alyha wa salam) know more than Muhammad, Ibn Mas'ud (the cousin of Muhammad) al-Tabari and Ibn Kathir

This silly claim is not any different from the claim by Tablighees that we will not find the term Ayat al-Sayf (the vile sword verse) in the Qur'an which is true but Ibn Kathir knew that this is what Q9:5 is all about or Islam Taslam: Convert to Islam and you will be safe (from the sword) This vile verse is the reason why many Hindus were murdered by the Muslim invaders of India!

I also challenge any Muslim to find the word al-Tawheed in the Qur'an or the Unity of Allah! It is not in the Qur'an but the main religious doctrine in Islam is al-Tawheed which is not even mentioned in the Qur'an and most damaging to Muslims is that the word Tawheed really means Unity it does not mean Oneness of Allah Which is really وحدانية الالوهية or Wehdaniat al-Elohiyya

More evidence? The USA in Arabic is: الولايات المتحدة الامريكية or al-Wilayat (the states) al-Mutahida (the united and compare with Tawheed) al-Amrikiyya

The strange fact is the word Tawheed (in Arabic it should be Wehdaniyya) must be a loan from from Ge'ez Tawahido (being made one as in the Christian Trinity) (see Marcus Gross Page 483) But again the prophet of Islam was a plagiarist and plagiarists make mistakes that expose their lies
