Falopey, I do legitimately understand why you don't believe me. But what I described about Jihad is the literal translation and meaning. I don't like to say this, I don't, I want everyone to stay out of Hell, the idea of it is so cruel, But, those people who go killing and committing major sins, calling it "Jihad" I hope Allah punishes them. They somehow interpreted the word to kill anyone who isn't their branch of Islam. Did you know that out of everyone these territories kill, Muslims make up the majority of who they slaughter? Why? Because they don't consider Muslims who don't follow their bleeped up and made up version of Islam to be real Muslims. And what you said about the centuries of killing, their has been a lot of wars, yes I will admit that. But the Islamic Empire, especially during it's golden age, was one of the most favorable empires. See other empires would make people convert into the religion it believes in, but during that time Muslims made a tax for Christians and

Okay first off jihad mean internal struggle, or it could be inturpeted to defend. But when I say defend I mean to teach because the best way for me to DEFEND myself is to TEACH you so you don't spread hate, stereotypes, and lies.
Okay Islamic Counties? That's a bullshit thing, because for many reasons actually. Don't blame the ENTIRE religion because of a country. And if you just ignore that then your a hypicrate, I'm going to assume you live in the USA okay? Because of "Christianty" Americans believed it was okay to basically commit genocide (see: Manifest Destiny) to have slave (black people) after freeing those slaves denying them rights ( Jim Crow laws and more)
Also you treated your woman like furniture for over 200 years.
And I agree with you with some parts though, my family is Shia Muslim and the UAE hates Shias. Anyway I live in America and some of my cousins live in the UAE, anyway after my uncle's boss (who is a Sunni Muslim) found out he was a Shia he fired him. And he tried to get my Uncle deported, but because some of my cousins where born in America and everyone was also a US citizen they couldn't deport my uncles family, because my uncle would get the US involved because of some law. Anyway my uncle's former employer basically told everyone my uncle is Shia. So because of this my cousins had to move to the USA because no one could get work and they can't afford their homes or school.
Also aslumalakum basically mean God bless you/God keeps you safe and healthy.
And finally woman's right, originally the hijab was really well intentioned, it says in the Quran that is used to keep the woman pure and keep her from getting molested, but because of extremist assholes and dumbasses who are going to hell like ISIS , Al Quada, and the Taliban they use these things to opress people and they do this for the Lord who is against this. It says in the Quran killing one person is like killing all of mankind, it also says to never force your religion onto people because it goes against their will and belief.
And yeah woman do have more restrictions compared to men, but all it is a test by Allah to show no prove your faith and if they make it the reward they shall receive is just amazing and so mi h more.
My friend you want to know what I just did? I did Jihad, this is jihad to teach or to educate.
