OPRESSION CREATE VIOLENCE. THE PRESIDENT WAS RIGHT THAT THERE IS NO VIOLENCE IN ISLAM. WARS IN ISLAM WERE AGAINST THE NON BELIEVERS NOT AGAINST THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK {CHRISTIAN AND JEWS}. NO VIOLENCE IS ALLOWED IN ISLAM AGAIST WOMEN. iF SOME PRACTICE IN A VIOLENT WAY IT IS NOT ISLAMIC.JIHAD IS MOSTLY SPIRITUAL . THE ONLY VIOLENT JIHAD IS WHEN YOU DEFEND YOUR PROPERTY AND YOUR SACRED PLACES. i THINK THE PRESIDENT DID NOT COSIDER TALIBAN TRUE MUSLIMS.
