This is to all muslim apologists who always deny that islamic jihad is defensive, peaceful, non-violent and only about conquering one weaknesses etc.etc. etc.

This I got from an islamic website. Can anyone deny this??? KNOW the enemy to beat the enemy.

Quote:" As for jihad that is aimed at conquest and calling the kuffar to islam, and fighting those who refuse to submit to the rule of Allah, the permission of the ruler is essential in this case, as things will be controlled."Unquote.

Quote: "Jihad to make the word of Allah supreme and to protect the religion of Islam and make it possible to convey it and spread it and protect its sanctity is an obligation on everyone who is able to do that" Unquote

Now can any muslim apologist deny that the real meaning of Jihad is spreading Islam by force???
