Dear Brothers / Sisters, I have few things to say just to clarify & avoid the misconceptions / misunderstandings which are there in the minds of Few Muslims & Few Non Muslims: The word Jehad (Arabic Word)basically means or stands for "Struggle / Strive" which can be very commonly applicable to each & every one either for an Individual or for a group irrespective of the relegion whether it may be Muslims / Non Muslims. Striving or Struggling to achieve or to get some thing is called Jehad. Every Human Being Strives or Struggles to achieve or to get some thing, so here every human being does Jehad. So Jehad means no way called as Holly War. Non of the Islamic Authantic books including Quran & Hadees Says Jehad means Holly War. So Jehad has nothing to do in Killing or Terrorising Innocent People. A True Muslim who sencerely & whole heartedly follows Islam & it's True & Scientific Principles Never ever think of killing Innocent People who has done no harm to him. If some body doing such a barbaric killings what is happening aroung the world & what has happened in Gujarat, he is not a true Muslim even if he is a Muslim by name or Just cot by Police & concluded as the barbaric Killings done by the Muslim Person. No one becomes a Muslim Just by the name itself until & unless he follows the Islam & its Scientific Principles Sencerely & whole heartedly. If somebody is doing some thing for his own personal purpose or gain either & blaming the entire religion (Islam) does not give a pro

You are right. 90% of muslims were told the ADULTERATED VERSIONS of the terms Jehad and Kafir. jehad is still a holy war that ones wages on oneself to come out of the illusion with which one perceives the universally existing divnity or GOD OR ALLAH as individual and seperate from self. Jehad doesnot mean to kill out people who donot grow beards and who donot do body level or mind level namaz 5 times etc, and And the word Kafir means anyone who doesnot have a realization or personal experience of the ALL PERVADING DIVINITY that is within everyone and in everywhere and evenbeyond the creation and that powers the universe. Just blind belief in something doesnot make a person bliever and others non-believers and ONLY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES OF THE ALL PERVADING DIVINITY MAKES A PERSON BELIEVER. THIS MEANS 99 percent of the Islamic community practices ADULTERATED VERSION OF JEHAD and 99percent Of ISLAMIC WORLD PRACTICES ADULTERATED VERSION OF KAFIR. I BOW TO THOSE 1 percent saints WHO ARE FOLLOWING THE CORRECT MEANING OF KAFIR AND JEHAD terms.
