    3) Zakat: Charity
    4) Sawm: Fasting during Ramadan
    5) Hajj: Making the pilgrimage to Mecca (if you can)

    Do you see Jihad anywhere up there???
    (...or anything bad at all?)

    I know that none of this fits your brainwashed narrative, which you have clearly rehearsed and taken to heart.

    I'm sorry, but you've been fed a line of horse shit.



    Literally, a person engaged in Jihad is a Jihadi... a Mujahid is slightly different and has the added connotation of armed jihad/ warfare.

    Maybe you should spout off about deep sea drilling or something else you don't know much about and we'll all just be like, "Yeaaaaahhhhh..."

    As nouns the difference between jihad and mujahideen is that jihad is a holy war undertaken by muslims while mujahideen is (islam) muslim holy warriors engaged in a jihad.

    As a verb jihad is to participate in a jihad.

    http://www.al-islam.org/a-muslim-in-...bligatory-duty

    “O Prophet! Strive hard agaunt the infidels and the hypocrites, and be firm against them, and their abode is hell, and evil is their resort.” Holy Qur'an (66:9)

    “Go forth (equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive hard in Allah's cause with your property and own selves; this is better for you, if you know.” Holy Qur'an (9:41)

    Jihad is a holy duty made obligatory upon all Muslims by Allah, the Almighty. The Muslims should defend themselves if being attacked in order to preserve their faith, spread Islam, and stand against tyrants and oppressors. Allah made jihad obligatory, in all its forms, whether it is the jihad of society or self, speaking a word for the sake of preserving Islamic call Da'wah, or defending the sanctuaries of the Muslim nation. Jihad is considered among the best forms of worship with Allah, the Most High.


    But that must be the Koran brainwashing my narrative again.

    Whoa. First off, I am a person of Faith. I believe in God.

    But I allot myself some skepticism. I'm pretty sure if we went by Leviticus today that we would all be put to death for something or another.

    Psalm 144:1 is about forging oneself for war

    The point of Brussels is that people are killing people and somebody needs to fix it.

    And I don't think Kev ever said he was a muslim, if he subscribes to a religion, and even so that is still his right.

    It was discussed a while back that a Muslim Luther could go a long way here in moderating SWA or at least allowing for a separation of church and state.

    Regardless, this is a complex issue with hard consequences that won't be fixed anytime soon unless some serious leadership gets on board.

    And we certainly don't have it and probably won't for some time if ever.
    I think emotions and prejudice are distracting us from the cold equations of the matter.

    I won't say hard feelings aren't warranted to an extent but...I would sooner people be practical.

    I don't see how pissing matches between, again, pretty intelligent people are really accomplishing anything

    Wiki...what?

    You screwed up again by entering Jihad instead of Jihadi. I'm not sure if it's intentional or if you're just not with it.

    Anyway, I typed in "Jihadi" and it corrected to Jihadist and came back with "Carpet Kisser," did you write that?

    LOL... thanks for bringing that crap site into the discussion... this thread needed a little levity I think.

    You're about as good a linguist as you are a straight line thinker. I have to think that this is intentional.

    Go back and read what I explained to you, but you have chosen to willfully not understand:

    A Jihadi is a person engaged in Jihad. This could be Internal Jihad, Social Jihad, Armed Jihad, or whatever injustice that person is struggling against...

    Mujahid almost always refers specifically to armed jihad.

    I'm Catholic, as I stated several pages ago, but I'm not sure if I'd pass the Steyr-the-Inquisitor's standards. It's his job to determine if a person's professed faith is legitimate or not, right? I sure as hell have done many sinful things in my life.

    Just because I don't agree doesn't mean I don't understand.

    So let's put it this way. "Bushi" and "Samurai" are two different words. They are often the same person, but one has a specific connotation.

    It seems you are trying to play a game of semantics where a Jihadi is not always a Mujahadeen. So let me ask you, where are the "non war" Jihadists?

    Where are the Jihads to condemn rapists and honor killings among Muslims?
    Where are the Jihads to make sure girls are educated?
    Where are the Jihads to make sure other cultures are respected?

    Seems to me that pretty much all the Jihadis are also Mujahadeen. Of course I raised this very point earlier before you started a word game.

    But if you insist that today "Jihad" is nothing more than a middle school kid claiming he deserved a "B" in social studies rather than the "D" he received, then fine. In that instance I will recognize your peaceful Jihad (assuming the kid in question doesn't blow up the school).

    But it seems the Koran and most muslims have a different understanding of Jihad.

    http://www.al-islam.org/a-muslim-in-...bligatory-duty

    Jihad (Holy Struggle) is an Obligatory Duty

    “O Prophet! Strive hard agaunt the infidels and the hypocrites, and be firm against them, and their abode is hell, and evil is their resort.” Holy Qur'an (66:9)

    “Go forth (equipped) lightly or heavily, and strive hard in Allah's cause with your property and own selves; this is better for you, if you know.” Holy Qur'an (9:41)

    Of course I'm sure you will suggest this is nothing more than something like missionary work.
