Our dear Michel and the word Jihad

How mant times do I have to tell you that you seem to listen to tablighees that pontificate to you about Arabic words and a language that they do not speak, and you believe their nosense.

The Arabic root JHD has two stems in one stem we have: Mujahid, jihad, yujahid or holy fighter, holy war and he fights a holy war, and then we have a second stem: Mujtahid, ijtihad, and yajtahid or he who strives to improve himself (nothing about your bogus inner self), improving and he imporves (himself).

But again your source of information must be the tendentious tablighee little books about the religion of peace.
