terrorism is in all religions,both Muslim and christian, u will quite agree with anything that can cause panic, trauma that if your not lucky can lead to dead and loss of properties is terrorism, and you know majority of people that are associated with arm robbery,kidnapping,sale of fake drugs advance free fraud 419 etc, the are from SS with little in SW nd North so what do call them?

Gabriel_sylar: No need for the RED CAUTION on xtain posts....xtains are not scary and heads won't roll...so feel free to blaspheme.....WE LOVE U

apocalypse: Hehehe , oh I love the threat.

There really isn't any difference between Muslims and Christians , I like to think religion is the real enemy here

maclatunji:

LOL- at bolded, the Moderator of the Islam for Muslims Section did not initiate or sponsor that warning- I hope those who did will be kind enough to come forward with their reasons.

However, I subscribe to the notion that insults of any kind of any group should not be tolerated here or elsewhere.

Thank you.

What is diversionary about this?
When people gather muslims, train them, equip them to fight not as regular army because of your own political agenda
What happens when you no longer need them
You now call on majority of muslims who never were involved in your game, never had influence on your "guerilla warriors" etc
And ask them to bring the battle-hardened to normal life

Boko Haram might not be easily explained but it have also been said that they are part of struggle for power by the political class
Even then Social issues are not typically explained 100% by major factors
Explaining 85% will normally do
(CF the report on the habits of products of China's one-child policy)

You can see why the FG is rehabilitating ex-militants in the ND - because people who are used to fighting cannot just be turned loose

There will always be conflicts but the upsurge is traceable to recent history
Check the history of terror activities before
1. the creation of the state of Israel
2. Invasion of Afghanistan/deployment of American troops to Saudi Arabia (al Qaeda)
3. Invasion of Iraq

Gabriel_sylar: Why can't somone just answer YES or NO?

Paschal007: YES they exist. I've one muslim friend and she's been great.

Why did they remove the topic from homepage?

A holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty.

A personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline.

maclatunji:

Your sources please.

apocalypse:

And the source would either validate or refute it ?

991:

if that be the case, then why bring topics like this on the front page? don't you think the topic is exposed to abuse? or do the Op intentionally want to get people banned?

Cheers01:


lol....after being answered comprehensively, this is all you have to say?


Are you not a muslim? Why would you be asking for sources when you know that these are the various definitions of jihad?

Chukskalidon:
whats d difference between an axe and just a small knife. Don't deceive yourself and give an unbiased reason. Don't just comment on something because of mental feelings and emotions. I just don't know what to comment on ur post cos its baseless.

maclatunji:

Please define Jihad to us.

maclatunji:

Please define Jihad to us.

maclatunji:

Muslims don't just define concepts by stringing words together without sources.

Chukskalidon:
Jihad in Islam is a religious duty of the muslims. It is one of the 10 practices of the Islamic religion and regarded as the 6th pillar of Islam. There are 2 acceptable meaning jihad: an inner spiritual struggle and outer physical struggle. The "greater jihad" is d inner struggle by a believer to fulfil his religious duties while "the lesser jihad" is d physical struggle against the enemies of muslims which is done in a violent way. 99% muslims engages on this as even now the spiritual duties of muslims are now channeled to the physical struggles. Jihad occured 41 times in quaran. All muslims are jihadist and a jihadist is a killer.

maclatunji:

@bolded, this must be a new religion you started not Islam.

Cheers01:


What you are doing is no different from a christian apologist. When told that there is war/killing in the bible, the christian aplogist will ask for sources when he know that it is there in the bible.

You were given a truly comprehensive definition of jihad, and like an apologist, rather say what is right or wrong, you ask for sources when you know it is the truth.


Here is a good source

maclatunji:

The BBC is an authority on Islam? But let me go with you:

Introduction
Jihad

The literal meaning of Jihad is struggle or effort, and it means much more than holy war.

Muslims use the word Jihad to describe three different kinds of struggle:

A believer's internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith as well as possible
The struggle to build a good Muslim society
Holy war: the struggle to defend Islam, with force if necessary

Many modern writers claim that the main meaning of Jihad is the internal spiritual struggle, and this is accepted by many Muslims.

However there are so many references to Jihad as a military struggle in Islamic writings that it is incorrect to claim that the interpretation of Jihad as holy war is wrong.

Jihad and the Prophet

The internal Jihad is the one that Prophet Muhammad is said to have called the greater Jihad.

But the quotation in which the Prophet says this is regarded as coming from an unreliable source by some scholars. They regard the use of Jihad to mean holy war as the more important.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/islam/beliefs/jihad_1.shtml

It is obvious even from the BBC that any attempt to make military struggle the primary definition of Islam is wrong, they simply tried to twist their definition to give that effect.

You are on some strong drugs bro.
