What Jihad means

Submitted by Hanan (United Arab Emirates), Dec 12, 2006 at 06:16

I was in London last September, attending a Tony Robbins seminar, well it really shocked me because each lesson or training he taught to us was profoundly relevant to the real meaning of Jihad.

People who always try to claim Islam is a force that could destroy the world really watch a lot of TV and believe the press. Immigration of people from the poor countries is an actual fact and not only applies to Muslims,when I was in Heathrow airport I noticed that most of the employees were Indians of Hindu religion , in America its the same case with Mexicans,and those who escape from Cuba. Same case with the Turkish community in Germany.

I believe people in the US are so affected by their main-stream media, which even before September 11th was 90% against Muslims and Arabs for reasons that should be questioned to the owners of the big media corporations themselves and if you are really interested to know who are they and for which real organizations they work for, you go to google or yahoo and type: who controls the US media. I believe its the right for each American individual to do that since most of they believe comes thru these channels.
