To Those Who Are Interested : When looking for information about Islam and jihad, what best way to do so is via the internet. Think of the internet like a school or a public library at the tip of your fingers. There is no limits brought about by time restrictions on the part of indiviuals or the need to return books or other materials. Just do an online search on Google, Ask, Dogpile, ete., and the information will be searched and found in response. Even information from noted scholars on subjects on Islam and jihad can even be found online. This is why we have the wonderful communications source called the internet. Because of online research over the last five years, more non-Muslims are putting into serious doubt the words, "Islam is the religion of peace", to the point it sounds very hollow and false. This includes myself in the process of researching online. The lesson is clear. It takes more than simply talking to a scholar on the subject of Islam and jihad or reading a book, please do online internet research.
