From the Meaning of Jihad to its Application
Reader comment on item: Jihad: The Fight Over Meaning
Submitted by RG Fulton (United States), Jun 6, 2002 at 23:33
Thus spake Sheik Abdullah (Slave of God) Azzam, mentor of bin Laden, before he was murdered in his car by means of remote controlled mine, in Peshawar, Pakistan, in 1989: "Jihad must not be abandoned until Allah alone is worshipped by mankind...Jihad and the rifle alone, no negotiations, no conferences and no dialogue."I guess he meant: diplomacy with Islamists is surrender to "Jihad" by moral means.
