dacoits cannot be called religious extremists, Veerappan was a sandalwood smuggler. Phoolan devi was a dacoit carved out of social circumstances, both of them were not fighting for Hinduism.

Whereas right from bhutto to bin laden and from babar to a average muslim are basically all Jihadists

One of the greatest misconceptions about Islam, not only amongst the non-Muslims but even amongst the Muslims, is that concerning the concept of Jihad. Non-Muslims as well as Muslims think that any war fought by any Muslim for whatever purpose, be it good or bad, is Jihad.

'Jihad' is an Arabic word derived from 'Jahada', which means to strive or to struggle. For example. if a student strives to pass in the examination he is doing jihad.

In the Islamic context, 'Jihad%u2019 means to strive against one%u2019s own evil inclination. It also means to strive to make the society better. It also includes the right to fight in self-defence or to fight in the battlefield against oppression and against aggression.

Not only non-Muslim scholars, but even some Muslim scholars mistranslate the word 'Jihad' as holy war. The Arabic word for 'holy war' is 'harabum muqaddasah' and this word is not to be found anywhere in the Qur%u2019an nor in any hadith. The word 'holy war' was first used to describe the crusades of the Christians who killed thousands of people in the name of Christianity. Today, this term 'holy war' is used to falsely describe Jihad, which merely means 'to strive'. In an Islamic context, Jihad means 'to strive in the way of Allah for a righteous cause%u2019. i.e. Jihad fi Sabilillah.

Raj, You r very right right. In Islam no modern thinking is allowed, every body should think the way it is specified in Koran. This is the source of misguidance of that community.

If Islam means Peace then what is Peace ?. Islam means violence and deception.Muslims are the victims of Islam since it teaches muslims to die for Islam without knowing once they die they are going to hell. May God save muslims.

Islam doesnt mean Peace. The literal meaning is submission to god. Get your facts right first. From seeing all that is going around and teaching of kuran, we start wondering if islam means violance and terror.
