The truth about "Jihad"
Reader comment on item: Jihad and the Professors
Submitted by A Muslim (United States), Nov 1, 2002 at 16:37
Jihad is the most misunderstood belief of Islam -- misunderstood by both Muslims and non-Muslims. Jihad is an Arabic word, literally meaning exerting one's best and greatest effort to achieve something. It is not the equivalent of war, for which the Arabic word is "qital". The Islamic belief of Jihad has a much wider connotation and embraces every kind of striving in God's cause. We all know that Usama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar were not scholars of Islam, they never even graduated from any Islamic or even non-Islamic school.Please be fair. The perception that "jihad" means holy was, is totally wrong.
Regards,
A Muslim

Daniel Pipes replies:
I agree that jihad is widely misunderstood - including by this respondent. I believe I laid out clearly what the word does mean in my article.DP
