ISLAM AND JIHAD%u2026%u2026 please try to understand.
by mohammed ahmed on Mar 01, 2007 02:44 PM

People are mis-understanding the religion of Islam. That too, only few people b%u2019cos, even in these days of Muslims%u2019 spiritual/social degradation and media-hatred towards it, Islam is the largest growing religion in America, Europe, Asia and everywhere.

Basically, Islam respects all the earlier faiths and religions. It propagates peacefully and never teaches to hurt/kill others until some body comes on the way of its peaceful propagation. And Islamic Rulers always try to expand their empires being within the basic rules of Warfare.



%u201CTRUTH is as old as mountains%u201D. Prophets, Preists and Saints only come to REVIVE it and REMIND the people, who have got the nature of forgetting/distorting the Truth for SELF-benefits to pursue their Evil-goals or Egos.



This is what Islam does to Revive the Truth and improve the Faith, Personal/Social Habits, spiritual level even within the MUSLIMS as well as Non-muslims.



Islam always talks in terms of Evil vs Pious, Satanic vs. Sacred, Just vs Unjust and Peace vs Violence in every aspect of the SELF, SYSTEM and SURROUNDING.

And because, these terms are more SPIRITUAL than material/psychological, it derives the GUIDELINES from DIVINE sources like PROPHETS/PREISTS and divine book of KORAN. This is the ONLY book which is PRESERVED inside millions of hearts/minds, as it was at its origin. So, no distortion is Ensured by the Practice of Memorisation.



KORAN calls for JIHAD against those evils/satans/unjustness/violent-ego of the SELF, the SYSTEM and the SURROUNDING equally. Methods of JIHAD are many. KILLING within the rules of warfare is also one of them. It is to bring mainly LARGER PEACE&JUSTICE and can be against anybody either Arab-Kafirs, Muslim-Yazeed. %u2026 ResistingBrahmins%u2026. Tribal-ChengisKhan%u2026. or any modern evil.



IT IS NEVER FOR FORCEFUL CONVERSIONS OR INNOCENT KILLINGS.

Otherwise%u2026. Islam never would have prevailed all over the world and people never would embrace it at least in these days.

evry body would say..... this is the case of TRUTH PREVAILS.
