- *BULL* Why don't you study Islam first, then tell us what Jihad
- is. YOUR FEEDING TO A HUNGRY CAT IS JIHAD. Your guidence of
- lost muslims back to islam is Jihad. Your defense against agression
- is Jihad. Your war against an occupier is JIhad. In fact the
- first Jihad ever was when Mohammad PBUH along with 113 was attacked
- by the Quraish Army.
-
- As I understand it, Jihad can be offense, not necessarily defense.
- Offense against the forces of a dictator ruling a land of muslims.
-
- The name "Holy War" translates to Arabic to "Alharb Al muqaddasa",
- where no such a thing exist or can exist in islam.
