Well this article is well written and information provided is pretty good and known to everybody.
I rally like authors article, they are quite eye opener.
Well now to my dear other commenter colleagues, I do not think that author has any bad views about any relegion. He is from the nation which is secular. I know that word Jihad was orignally for fighting against bad/evil. that was not about fighting against another non-Islam relegion people.
But unfortunately the terrorist world all the world is using JIHAD quite common, so the orignal meaning got lost and all common folks only know one meaning of JIHAD, i.e. fighting of terrorist against other civilian world. I hope thatif you think it unbiased manner then you will also think it as correct.
Well If you do believe in god then just follow him. Just follow the main leader of god as in ISLAM, Paigamber Mohammad Saheb. Why to follow their followers, who just fought for calliphite and lead to sub-division of relegio into Shia and Sunni and others?
Just follow God and their main messenger, not those folks who are just using name of God and causing destruction and validating it?
