A Holy War is a Contradiction in Terms!

The idea of jihad is a contradiction in terms. It is impossible to have a 'holy war'. Anything that is holy is good, pure, beautiful, lovely, only of good report-like pure unconditional love. War on the other hand is not loving. War is destructive, dangerous, grievious. War takes innocent lives, brings pain, reduce human lives to ashes. Cause unspeakable horrors.

You say that no one asks why there is a Jihad. There is a Jihad because Islamists are not about God. Islamist are Imperialists who use the sword and man's innate fear of a Supreme Diety to gain world domination.

There is absolutely nothing Godlike or Godly about Islamists. But I posit that when Islamists have killed out so-called kafirs and kafiroons, infidels, Jews, Christians and others who do not conform they will turn upon their own!
