im a muslim, im quite offended by the unthruthfulness of your writings..even from the beginning, the term jihad defined ridiculously. Jihad in Arabic means "to strive for some objective". www.al-islam.org/short/jihad/Jihad.doc Jihad Main Entry: ji•had Variant(s): also je•had /ji-'häd, chiefly British -'had/ Function: noun Etymology: Arabic jihAd 1 : a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; also : a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline 2 : a crusade for a principle or belief http://www.webster.com/dictionary/jihad being too obsessed by the wrong translation of jihad, make people believe that it is all about occupying land ; enmity of ISLAM & CHRISTIAN.. but the fact is, we muslim are your brothers, Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is a messenger of God.. Muhammad (peace be upon him) is also a messenger of God.. all in all, my christian brothers and sisters; please try to find the real facts of islam and try to consider our views.........
