Jihad is an Arabic word whose root is jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life. Other nouns are Juhd, Mujahid, Jihad, and Ijthad. The other meanings are endeavour, strain, exertion, effort, diligence, and fighting to defend one’s life, land and religion.

It should be stated here that the highest degree of Jihad in Islam is when a person is making struggle against himself. He should not allow himself to commit any crime, any assault, or any type of ill doing against the law, the society or the environment. A Muslim who already submitted himself and his loyalty to God (The Creator of the Universe) has to try his best to control his ego, his lusts, and his selfishness.

He should be humble, amicable, and friendly to all irrespective of colour, nationality, ethnic background, gender, language, creed, position or religion. A Muslim is that person who walks and behaves like an angel on this planet. He is to take care of poor, the needy, those who are out of jobs, and those who are homeless. He is to sacrifice his time, money, knowledge, wisdom, effort, energy and all other capacities in order to please God, and harmony among themselves. This is considered in the Book of God as a true Jihad.

Anyone who makes Jihad against himself is to be rewarded by God in this world and in the hereafter. One has to make sure that while he is making Jihad against himself; his intention should be for the love of God, and for the sake of making people happy, healthy and safe. He should never brag about his sacrifices; and he should never exploit people at all, otherwise he would be the loser in this world and in the hereafter. PS: For more references one may read the Qur’an (3: 142); (22:78); (29:6); (29:69).
Jihad is not a war to force the faith on others, as some people may think. It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others.

Islam prohibits terrorism, kidnapping, and hijacking, in peace and in war when carried against civilians. Whoever commits such violation is considered a murderer and is to be punished by Islamic State. During wars, Islam prohibits Muslim soldiers from harming civilians, women, children, elderly, and the religious men like priests and rabbis; it also prohibits cutting down trees and destroying structures.

HOLY WAR
The term Holy War is not an Islamic terminology. The only Holy is God, the Creator. His words are Holy. As far as war is concerned, there is nothing in the Qur’an or even in the teachings of Islam, which indicates that Muslims should wage a war at all. Moreover, it is against the teachings of Islam to practise what is called Holy War. This action is not at all from Islam. It is a borrowed terminology from the Crusades.

Indeed, the Crusades of the Romans had used this terminology and applied it in action. They considered the local people in the Middle East as infidels. It happened that those people of the Middle East were Christian and Muslim Arabs. Even those Christians did not accept the Crusaders as their leaders. Hence, the Romans had to get the verdict and the blessings of the then Pope to wage a tragic war against the Middle East people. They considered the local Christians and Muslims as Infidels.

In order to raise enough money to buy ammunition, they started selling croissant in their local churches. They thought that the croissant is the symbol for Muslims, i.e. crescent and star. This was not true of course. Muslims do not worship the moon. They worship Allah (The Almighty) alone. Their pledge of allegiance is only to Allah, the Creator of the whole universe.

At that time the Crusades killed 200,000 local people in the Middle East. Similarly one can say that the Inquisition in Spain was carried by the Francos against the local Muslims, Christians and Jews. They killed 10 million Muslims and 4,000 Jews. Those acts of terrorism were done in the name of their religion. However, Jesus was innocent of their terror, and Christianity and other Christians of the world are innocent of their crimes and atrocities. It should be stated here that the local Christians of today have nothing to do with the Crusades or with the Inquisitions. No one is to be blamed for someone else’s mistake in the past history.

Therefore, Islam is against Holy war. It is against killing innocent people. Qur’an stipulates that whoever kills one person it’s as if he killed human beings at large; and whoever saves the life of one person it’s as if he saved the lives of all people on this planet. Moreover, if someone tries to create commotion, disturbance and hate among people so that they may start war, he is committing a big sin, which is bigger than killing humanity at large. Hence, Muslims try to live in peace and harmony with all people of the world without exception.

Nope. Nigerians like everyone else should not be limited in their travels.

But killing people because they are 'illegal immigrant' deserves a complete condemnation.

Nigeria should organise '3rd Marine Commando' to go Libya and rescue these people.

We should put Libya and everyone that support them on our list of 'Enermies of Nigeria People'

This would send a signal to the whole world; dont mess with Nigerians.

But I know Yaradua is 'spineless'!!

U dont get it do you?
What is the point in travelling all over the place illegally and risking dodgy laws?
So are you one of the people who will travel to a country illegally even when the penalty is deadly, all in the name of your comment above?
If one cant obtain the necessary papers to facilitate a stress and trouble free stay in an host country, what is the point in risking your life illegally?

2008 Summary

Libya maintained 10 detention camps for illegal migrants, where detainees reported being abused, including sexually.

In January, the European Union (EU) announced new cooperation with Libya on several areas, stopping asylum seekers and other migrants from reaching Europe by crossing the Mediterranean. The Government also announced plans to demolish makeshift homes of undocumented foreigners around Tripoli and other cities.

Libya’s official news agency, JANA, reported that the country began expelling all illegal immigrants in January. Government sources alleged there were more than 1 million in Libya, most of whom were Sub-Saharan Africans from Chad, Sudan, and Niger. Libyan authorities further stated that they would prosecute and fine those who provided shelter to illegal immigrants. The Office of the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) expressed concern for the lack of protection for refugees and asylum seekers in the deportation process, although the Government claimed that none of the million it hoped to deport were refugees or asylum seekers. During the year, the Government somewhat improved screening for refugees and asylum seekers among the deportees.

In March, the International Organization for Migration opened a center for stranded African migrants in Libya’s capital, Tripoli, to provide humanitarian assistance. It helped more than 1,800 migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia return to their home countries voluntarily. The center provided temporary housing for up to 40 people, counseling, and medical services, as well as information on the dangers of irregular migration.

Libya deported 110 Malians in April, after reportedly detaining them for months, beating them, and confiscating their money. In June, the Government prepared to deport 230 Eritrean refugees back to Eritrea, but opted not to, instead detaining them for the rest of the year. Libya detained at least 700 Eritreans during 2008.

In July, UNHCR signed an agreement with the International Organization for Peace, Care and Relief, the International Centre for Migration Policy Development and the Italian Council for Refugees to ensure the protection needs of asylum seekers and refugees in Libya. In July, hundreds of Eritrean refugees marched in Ethiopia’s capital, demanding that Egypt and Libya stop deporting Eritreans, whom they said were at risk of execution. In August, Italy agreed to pay Libya $5 billion as compensation for its colonization of Libya, which ended in 1943. Libya agreed to work more closely with Italy to prevent African migrants from reaching Italy from Libya.

In early September, Libya deported nearly 470 Nigerians from its southwestern city of Sebha.

In October, Libyan security forces stopped a Ghanaian man attempting to cross into Libya and forced him to return to a military post in Niger. In November, the Libyan and Italian foreign ministers met to discuss the flow of illegal immigration. Libya and Italy discussed starting sea patrols in order to reduce the flow of illegal migration. According to Italian officials, more than 300 boats from Libya arrived in Italy from January to October.

In mid-November, Libya deported 420 Malians from Sebha. By the end of November, over 9,000 migrants had been deported from Sebha, mainly to Niger, Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, and Senegal. During November alone, it repatriated roughly 1,100 people from Sebha.
