About Jihad!

I read the articles about Jihad, and it seems that some non-muslims brothers and sisters have a misunderstanding of it.

In the Quran, all of verses about Jihad, is for defending of Muslims against Enemies of Allah. Allah in arabic word means "The God and The Lord ".

So, if any body believes to God, is Friend of God, not Enemy of God! and there is no reason to fight with other people Not only who are believe in God, but who are not believe in God. The Jihad is for the Second Group (Non-believe in God) when they attack you and hurt you.

Today's wars between Muslims together, or Muslims and Non-muslims are only for political reasons and aren't Jihad. Of cours this is a normal action of every nation and every religion, to defend itself when attacked by others.

The meanind of Jihad is: "to mobilize all of fighting forces to defending of your country, your religion, your rights and any thing which is your right!". This mobilization is usually occured by command of a religious Leader.

All of us are God's vassal, and God loves all of his vassals. So lets believe in Peace and Brotherhood for all Nations and all Religions. This is the main reason of Cosmogony! Believe it!
