And here are comments made by Muslims about the above:

Quote:


And we muslims get all angry and upset when they refer to us as uncivilised! how can we be civilised if all we do is feed our children this propaganda and hatred.
Don't you dare getting all edgy and start throwing verses from the Quran on me, I know what I'm talking about, too bad most muslims don't.

I feel more and more disappointed whenever I see, read or hear of such stories.
I feel disgust that our so-called "Muslim" societies still harbour ignorance and such dangerous educational negligence!
I am so ashamed that good, educated muslims have to share the same respectable religious title as those nonsensically brainwashed zombies......

earth, how lovely of you to support the Jihad movement, and to discriminate against the child who has been a "good muslim".

Why can you not contribute?

It amuses me no end that every time l post something created by the Muslim Jihad, this is taken as 'hatred". l didn't take my little old video crew out and make this, this was produced to show the other Muslims' what a good Muslim child is taught.

So ask yourself, being a Jihad Muslim and all, and your friends, how does this teaching work with Western Society and freedom and peace???

Earth and friends that you made up,
In regard to your threat on my freedom of speech, and your Jihad friend who doesn't want me to qoute the Quran---

just tell yourself, uh, l mean your "friend" that l dare, you see it is a free country and even though you have already threatened me, in true JIHAD MUSLIM TERRORIST FASHION, Canadians, and Westerners, live in a free society and we are entitled to bring the truth to light.

The video referenced in the first post on this string shows the results of hate propaganda on a three year old. Pretty sad that adults would do this to a child rather than fill her heart with magic, joy and wonder...

But how different are most of us from this child? Few of us have first hand knowledge about Iraq, Iran and Palesetine. Like this girl, our opinions are based on what we are told. How likely is it that the talking heads that gave us opinions about the links between Iraq and 9/11 and Iraq's WMDs are more honest now than they were then?

What are the odds the media has suddenly become more honest?

Some insight into the current situations in religious schools, supported by the Quran-

Quote:


Back to (religious) school
New school year in Iran
Spetember 30, 2006
iranian.com
The new academic year started last week and schools in Iran open for about 15 million school pupils. As expected, the government of Ahmadinejad has planned new measures of islamisation -- Education Ministry announced a ban on male teachers from girl schools. Furthermore, “all students have to take part in the daily ritual in communal halls”, state-run media reported.
As reflected in the decisive restriction of Islamic norms, according to state media and forceful calls of Hardliners, Tehran police Chief Brigadier General Morteza Tala’i announced the formation of a new “Youth Police” which will be present in schools across the city. This extra police are in place to mainly enforce measures of gender segregation, against non-Islamic attitudes and especially to threaten school girls who are considered to be “bad hijab”. The idea of...

Quote has been trimmed
to pretend that the Quran, and it's 161 verses of violent acts to non-Muslims' is not instilled on these children is to not acknowledge the problem. Without acknowledging the core issue, nothin can be done for these children. It is through acknowledgement that change can happen. There are no shortcuts.

OK, I watched the vid, I can only assume that what was typed across the bottom of the screen, is in fact what she said. For all I know, she could have been discussing Barney.

But, if that is what she was saying, she is but a parrot, she has no consept of what she is saying. A child of that age is not more cognisent of the commentary she was saying, then if she was describing the thenth planet.

It's quite funny though, the woman interviewer, an obviously devout Muslim woman, was not wearing a veil. Things that, once again, make me go "Hmmmmmmmmmm"!

Do you speak whatever language she is speaking?

Or are you merely interjecting for the sake of seeing your thoughts on your screen?

If it is the fore mentioned, please elaborate, I and many others would love to know the real context of the interview.

If you go to the second link in this string you will see my post by what appears to comments by Muslims about this video. Most don't agree with it, suggesting that the little girl's view isn't mainstream Islam, but a minority viewpoint. Those people they think its authentic.

MEMRI appears to be an Israeli propaganda feed.

Yes Bear, l really like your points, l had a friend who understands the language take a look, apparently it is indeed authentic.

And there is alot on the internet to show that it is very unfortunate what is being taught in this day and age.

But to acknowledge the problem is the beginning of change.

With all the humanitarian aid being poured into the country hopefully things can change, and this discrimination will not be tolerated.

Unfortunatly there doesn't seem to be a lot of monitoring on the Muslim Schools in the Western world.

In reviewing the report about the school in Iran,that l have posted, it truly identifies the problem.It identifies the core problem with gender discrimination that is not tolerated here.

It makes me wonder what the Islam schools in the Western world is teaching the children.

Do they have to report to the minister of education and follow guidlines like the public schools???

And how are the teachers selected for the schools?????????

Are the children being taught gender discrimination? Are the children being taught the violent passages from the Qur'an ??????

I think it is vital for these innocent children to be protected from JIHAD teachings and the medieval teachings of violence and prejudice that permeates the Quran teachings.

I agree northstar, but first we have to step back and look at the entire picture. It is not a pretty landscape, all easily dissernable. It is muddled multi factioned mess. To equate all Muslims by one mathematical chart is useless. You will only give proof and fuel to the Islam-o-fascist, that the West is out to get all the Muslims. Yes, we should not have to on our own soil, but that is the case, and we must take metered steps to ensure our actions are consice and controlled.

I know this is in contridiction to my feelings on torture, but we are talking about civilians here, not combatants or percieved theats. Many will argue that many at Gitmo, came from the very communities I'm now trying to defend, and thus making my arguement look hypocritical. On some levels this could be true.

What I'm trying to get across here is, we need to identify the groups within our borders and watch them carefully. if at anytime, these groups are found to be promoting or supporting a militant ideology towards our Nations, then we must shake off the kid gloves and act.

It is high time the Muslim community took some responsiblity and some of the onous on themselves. if they truely believe that they are suffering because of the acts of a few, they must, and have claimed to be doing just so, take action to assist in our locating and removing of these militant leaders, Imam's and money movers.

But first we have to stop lumping the entire group, into one tidy lil box, it only furthers the aggression, and devides the masses.

It is important to note that the reason people lump the Muslims' into one group is because of the proof that when unmonitored we suddenly have to deal with terrorist activity. For example the plot In Toronto.
This activity is going on all over the world. And then there are the new fashion suddenly replacing the lovely garments and headscarves we used to see, now it is this frightening burka and facal mask. Then their are the riots with burning of effigies and clear contempt of other religions. Then we see contempt of our security measures by those who are trying to cover their face for a passport photo, then we see, other examples within our own communities of the web of terrorist fund-raising and recruitment attempts that begin with giving false twisted information about world events in order to gather sympathy. The same terrorist bloggers, are also justifying the actions of social intolerance, as human rights issues and discrimination, when in fact the actions are being imposed upon a society which has social sturctures in place to support our justice, our school, our democratic rights, and our freedoms. So these are all actions of discrimination on us, in an attempt to have the world revolve around the law of Islam.

I know that some Muslims' are taking a stand, and it takes great courage, because as we have seen recently in the news, their have been threats against them if they fail to participate.

I am always referring to those Jihad Muslims' ---this term means 'struggle" in Arabic, and has been the self-title used in the terrorist training camps and recruitment efforts.

It is time for Muslims to find the courage and character to start defending our country in which they chose to live. This means that they accept the fact that fundemental Islam, which calles all Muslim's to Jihad and follow the Quran teachings of punishment to all non-Muslims', is a supporting piller of terrorism. Currently we are in a war on Terrorism, and it is a world war. THEREFORE, it is time to open our eyes to this situation, and review how this religion works in our society, so that we can establish peace without these actions of discrimination against the human rights and freedom of every Canadian.

Toronto terror plot foiled -- Canada

FBI: Suspects may have had 'limited contact' with Georgia men


Saturday, June 3, 2006; Posted: 4:56 p.m. EDT
if(!cnnUseDelayedCSI){cnnAddCSI('imageChanger0','/2006/WORLD/americas/06/03/canada.terror/imgChng/p0-0.exclude.html','pNo=0');}


TORONTO, Ontario (CNN) -- Canadian police said on Saturday they had halted a "real and serious" terror threat in and around Toronto.
Twelve men and five youths said to have been inspired by al Qaeda were arrested in the operation involving hundreds of officers, authorities said.
The group was "planning to commit a series of terrorist attacks against solely Canadian targets in southern Ontario," Royal Canadian Mounted Police Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell said at a news conference.
"This group took steps to acquire three tons of ammonium nitrate and other components necessary to create explosive devices," he said. (--)
"To put this in context, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people took one ton of ammonium nitrate."
The detained suspects are all males, Canadian residents "from a variety of backgrounds" and followers of a "violent ideology inspired by al Qaeda," said Luc Portelance, assistant director of operations for Canadian Security Intelligence Service. (--)
The adults ranged in age from 19 to 43, and all lived in Ontario, according to Canadian police. No information was released on the youths.
The charges they face include participating in terrorist group activity such as training and recruitment; the provision of property for terrorist purposes; and the "commission of indictable offenses, including firearms and explosives in association with a terrorist group."
The targets were all in Toronto, CNN's Jeanne Meserve reported at least one source as telling her.Authorities did not release information on targets except to say they did not include the Toronto Transit Commission.
"This group posed a real and serious threat," McDonell said. "It had the capacity and intent to carry out these attacks."
U.S. link probed

Some suspects "may have had limited contact with the two people recently arrested from Georgia," FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said, referring to Syed Ahmed, a 21-year-old Georgia Insitute of Technology student, and 19-year-old Ehsanul Sadequee.
Both men traveled from Atlanta to Canada in March 2005 to meet with three men who were the subjects of an FBI international terrorism investigation, an FBI agent said, according to an affidavit unsealed in April.
Ahmed told authorities that "during some of these meetings, he, Sadequee and the others discussed strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike, to include oil refineries and military bases," the court paper said. (--)
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff spoke by telephone with his counterpart, Canadian Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day, on Saturday morning to discuss the latest events north of the border. (--)
"We believe we have a strong posture at the Canadian border and we will continue to do so," said a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesman, adding that no additional protective measures were being taken.
The overnight Canadian raids involved most of the police forces in the Toronto area, police spokeswoman Cpl. Michele Paradis said.
Federal agencies including border and intelligence agents worked with the police under the auspices of the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, Paradis said.
Such anti-terror operations in Canada are rare. It is not clear if the sweep is related to a raid in East London Friday, one of the largest there since the London transit bombings in July. That raid was carried out with the help of police and Britain's domestic spy agency, MI5. (--)
In March 2004 a man from Ottawa, Canada -- Mohammad Momin Khawaja -- was charged in connection with terror-related offenses that involved activities there and in London.
And Ahmed Ressam, who was convicted of conspiracy to detonate a suitcase bomb at Los Angeles International Airport during millennium celebrations, was stopped upon entering Washington state from Canada. His trunk contained explosives and timing devices.
CNN's Jeanne Meserve and Kevin Bohn contributed to this report.

How different is this girl from other people who simply parrot generalizations about entire groups of people because that's whet they have been told? Its a lot easier to see prejudice in others than to see it in ourselves, but just like this little girl we all have them.

Its possible that when this girl gets a little older, and gains more access to information, she might begin to think for herself and figure out that "Jews" are not "Apes and Pigs". Its also possible that people who lump all Muslims into one group and believe they are all plotting to kill us and take over the world or other ridiculous notions and develop a more realistic viewpoint of Islam rather than one based on selective truths, manipulations, outright lies and deceptions.

CDNBear,
Not all Muslim women were veils. Islam is as diverse as Christianity. Expecting every Muslim to behave the same way would be like expecting every Christian to behave like a Jehovah Witness. The two main Muslim sects are Sunni and Shi'ite, but literally hundreds of other sects exist ranging from extreme fundamentalist to secularist.

My observation is that most Muslims tend to be moderate. What I mean is most are tolerant and open minded. Many have adapted to our way of doing things but sometimes they prefer to do things their own way. Take veils for example. Most Muslim women in Canada don't wear them. Most wear a headscarf. Most are tolerant of other religions and respect the right of others to choose.

If you ask Muslims which religion is the one true religion, most will give you the same answer you would get from most Jews or Christians. Their religion is of course!

But most accept that religion is a free choice. If you read the Muslim responses to that video, you will see what I mean. The majority posted a tolerant viewpoint.

My apologies if I kind of wandered into this thread out of place, but here are my thoughts...

All fundamentalists, regardless of the religion they come from, are ****ed up, in my opinion. 'Christian evangelists', 'jihad muslims'... all of them freak the hell right out of me!

The major difference, as someone posted in the following YouTube link, is that these muslim fundamentalists are more desperate than the christian fundamentalists, hence suicide bombings. I'd say there might be some truth to that.

Check out this video of "Jesus Camp".

That Jesus camp is pretty screwed up. Its about as far out as the video in this string's first post.

Neither video represents mainstream. Obviously some Christians and Muslims harbor extremely intolerant viewpoints. Its troubling that adults would teach children intolerance and hate.

But neither extreme represents the will of the majority. Most people are tolerant of others and want peace.

That said, we must overcome barriers of ignorance and fear which have been used to support unjustified wars. A person may believe others have prejudices, but few among us recognize our own prejudices. We often believe we see things clearly as they are. But the truth is no one is completely free of distortions caused by misinformation. Misinformation is around us. Like these children, all of us have distorted perceptions to some degree.

A good example of a common distortion is the way most of us percieve the word Jihad.

Does this image seem like an oxymoron?



It shouldn't. Jihad means "struggle". If you perceive it to mean "holy war" than your perception of this word has been distorted from its true meaning.

Jihad can be used correctly to describe a struggle for peace, tolerance, justice or freedom. When someone uses this word incorrectly, it should raise a flag, that their message is likely as misinformed as their understanding of the word. This is what Jihad means:

Quote:

Muslim intellectuals need to show that our struggle in the present-day has more to do with striving for economic development, modernisation and the creation of civil society.

If Muslim Education is so poor and currupt, how could this 40 something be able to learn such things?

Please also explain to me how her sisters all went to universitys? and How her Brothers all gotto go to school in england?

Northstar their is a reason why I dont use links, and other texts, becauseyou cant rely on them to be thruthful or accurate, also its simple to find an opinion that matches your own and post it and then say....."see iam right this guy thinks the same things as me, so therefore iam right" Wrong, sadly it means their is another hate filled idiot walking the streets.

If your so worried about the Muslim world, by all means do something about it. Perhaps you can do the Christain thing and embracethem, Put differances aside and befriend muslims, then you will see that the Magjority of those muslim friends if not all, will be well mannerd, non violent and fair people. Its unfortunate you sell yourself short and jump on the hate train.

And as for your Jihadist bull****, I dont support Jihadist nor do I support Hardline Christains...why because both have twisted their text....but it seems to me you would like to pin the tittle "Jihadist supporter" on anyone who dissagrees, I DISSAGREE, AND i WILL NOT ACCEPT THAT TITTLE. why do you ask, becuase Iam not close minded, nor Iam I simple enough to think all people are the same way. Also I see much Value in the Quran. Perhaps you should read thewhole text, and get the whole picture of things. Maybe read the History of how Islam came to be, and not be a bigot and make some Muslim friends.

God doesnt want you to hate anyone, Maybe instead of listening to you small human brain you should listen to God, Imean if you are infact a christian. But It wouldnt surprise me if youw ernt ethier, obviously I see no Chrsitan Heart in your Postings, only complete ignorance and hate.

Why would I be despicable,Mr. emotional, I am so self-righteous????

am I dispicable because l have shown this video and posted a thread for comment.

am I dispicable because l am trying to look closely at the Quran and these type of Media publishings and l am trying to understand how it equates to the events of our current world?

am I dispicable because the SATANIC VERSES pointed out the first warning to our free world of the growing threat of the Eastern world, the oppression and violence of the Holy SCRIPTURES and then Osama BL {or better BS} drew the same parrell in his victory speech over the deaths of thousands of innocent hard working people. And also this has been echoed by all the terrorist plots and anti-social behavior, murder, kidnapping and destruction that has effected our world on a global scale??

-am l dispicable then, to question who is following the fanatical Quran teachings in our minority Muslim popluation.

-am l dispicable then, to follow this parrell drawn by the Quran and it's modern media teachings that hurt children, women and promotes disgusting behaviour that is outlawed and criminalized in our society.

-am l dispicable then to recongnize that the Jihad 'struggle' is considered by some in the literal sense and by other the spiritual. And then to follow this train of reasoning and ask how the spiritual battle has anything to do with this teaching, and is it related to the Quran or have they completely re-written the violent and oppressive and discriminatory religion entirely??

I can go on, but unless you can comment without losing your grip on reality, l don't see the point in responding to all your personal ranting and raving.

the first step in any change is by acknowledging, so l completely disagree with your statement that neither one leads to peace. l think that your posts are hypocritical because if you truly believed that discussion is not the path to peace you wouldn't be here arguing your points.

Change can never begin without an idea of the issue. So in defining an issue, we can begin.

Interesting earth, to see your take on Jihad as an inner struggle rather than any doctorines of the Quranic teachings.

The Jihad was the self-title of the Terrorists that began in the eyes of most people after the murder of thousands of innocent people and destruction of 9/11. As we watched the joyful celebrations of Muslims' in many countries of the east, we were treated to the Muslim leader who officially announced the declaration of war on the Western World and explained how all Muslims' were called by the laws of Islam to the JIHAD movement. Taken literally. Since then l have seen a few, very few Isamic clerics say that this struggle is spiritual and define it as the struggle between the spirit and the teachings of the Quran.

So when you look at the teachings of the Quran we are again looking at these issues, that are brought to literal life, by examples such as the video l am showing.

So how do you explain how the Jihad is about peace?

and how does this peaceful existance that supports the education of innocent children while supporting the teachings of the Quran?

I posted this on thread 'sexual oppression' and it is No. 64

this is a reply to earth's post which denoted the Jihad as peace. To avoid confusion, the Jihad Muslims are titled to describe those Muslims that subscribe to the teachings of the terrorists, in taking the Quran literally. the title was taken by Oslama BL following the celebration of the murder and destruction of thousands of innocent working people and buildings, in his declaration of war the the Western World.

The JIhad Muslim then refers to fanatical Muslims who follow the teachings of the Quran literally. Now it is used by USA, CANADA, UK, SWEDEN, NORWARY, GERMANY, FRANCE, NATO, ARGENTINA, AND THE UN, to describe the followers of the terrorists that have declared a holy war based on Mohammad's teachings-


Quote:

Therefore, when discussing Islam and Jihad, what must be considered most applicable are Muhammad’s final teachings and commands, especially what his last wishes and instructions were regarding Jihad and violence.
From the viewpoint of the non-Muslim world, we must know which Qur’anic passages are still in force today for the Muslim community, and which are not.
Earlier statements related to peace may or may not have been abrogated by later statements related to violence, or visa versa. We must carefully examine the context of the texts to know which Jihadic directions are acceptable and in force today.
The revered work "al-Nasikh wal-Mansukh" (The Abrogator and the Abrogated) deals in great detail with many subject matters addressed in the Qur’an wherein there appears to be some conflict or contradiction.
The book goes through every sura (chapter), pointing out in full detail every verse which has been canceled, and the verse(s) which replace it.

Quote has been trimmed
there are may other insights into this Jihad following that holds violence and intolerant attitudes of the Quran.

It is important to note that religious scriptures that followed the Quran sometimes contradicted the Quran, and this happens in the Hadith, and when this contriction occurs the Quran rules.

So in the struggle of inner spirituality about the violence that follows the peaceful manipulations, how is this resolved to anything but the very definate scourging, destruction, rape and murder that is the plight of all those who faith to convert????

he Quran show time and time again that we are only tolerated if we serve a purpose, such as payment of extortion for our safety and livilihood, or by being publically punished, or by being second class citicizens such as what happened to the Christians and Jews in the Holy City of Jeruselum [the Christians were persequeted and thrown out on Christmas around 1974{?]}.

So l am not convinced at all that the Jihad of the Terrorist training camps, and the Jihad of the UK 's terrorist cells, or the Jihad's that have proclaimed that they are following the teachings of the Quran in murdering Journalists, are the Jihad's of peace.

Neither video represents mainstream. Obviously some Christians and Muslims harbor extremely intolerant viewpoints. Its troubling that adults would teach children intolerance and hate.

That's precisely the point I wanted to make...

Quote:

I was referring of course to the rewards offered by chance of birth, if you are a Jihad Muslim male you are entitled to these things as justified by the teachings of ISLAM ala Quran, and it you are unfortunate enough to be a female, you are subject to this treatment and so the burkas really work to cover bruising...



I don't know a great deal about the doctrine or writings or whatever, of Muslim religion or Christian religion, but let me add something...

If you follow Christianity to the most extreme viewpoints, you'd might never believe the universe was more than a billion years old, or that our current understanding suggests something like the big bang for the origins of the universe. Nowadays though, the pope interprets the big bang and his religion, and how they relate to each other, as 'not at odds' with each other. By the same token, or perhaps not, many muslims of today may not cover their wives in bruises, or the wives may not wear a burka. I know some women who voluntarily became muslims and sure, many of them wear weird looking clothes (cloths wrapped around their heads and what not) and they are not beaten. But whatever...

Anyways, I've heard of some 'devout christians' who believed they were entitled, under god, to take the virginity of and impregnate, all of girls and women in their communes. I've also read about the crusades, where people were massacred in the name of Christendom...

Maybe they are wrong in figuring they could do that? I'd say yup. Is there room for change even if the doctrine says that is all right, or if it could be interpreted [even in the most vague of ways] as justifying such things? Probably...

(sorry about the italics, it's not letting me unclick it for some reason)

Anyways, we can continue from there, but I'll just leave it at that for now.

The Jihad was the self-title of the Terrorists that began in the eyes of most people after the murder of thousands of innocent people and destruction of 9/11. As we watched the joyful celebrations of Muslims' in many countries of the east, we were treated to the Muslim leader who officially announced the declaration of war on the Western World and explained how all Muslims' were called by the laws of Islam to the JIHAD movement. Taken literally. Since then l have seen a few, very few Isamic clerics say that this struggle is spiritual and define it as the struggle between the spirit and the teachings of the Quran.

So when you look at the teachings of the Quran we are again looking at these issues, that are brought to literal life, by examples such as the video l am showing.

So how do you explain how the Jihad is about peace?

and how does this peaceful existance that supports the education of innocent children while supporting the teachings of the Quran?

Since Jihad is an Islamic term, I'll side with the Muslim scholars regarding its meaning.

Jihad: the effort/struggle to improve yourself, the world and/or please God/Allah.

A "Jihad" could involve warfare, but only if the effort/struggle is to improve yourself, the world and/or please God.

While this thread is about a child's education and how this needs to be addressed in order to find a lasting peace in the Middle-EAST, the Pro-Jihad Muslim supporters can't come up with truthful relivant arguments in regard to the facts that exist today where children are being taught hatred.

The phenomenon of the Jihad Muslims’ to engage in a struggle to honor Allah is 1,400 years old, and is from the Quran in which it is claimed repeatedly that those who don’t believe in Allah and his prophet Mohammad are perversely rejecting the truth and considered evil.

The Prophet Mohammad and Allah are being insulted and disrespectful by those who are not converting and this insult, being the greatest of all insults imaginable, must be avenged [in the Jihad Muslim's mind, according to the Quranic teachings}.


The Muslims are then taught that the insult can be removed by extorting, converting or murdering the Non-Muslims. [ie. ‘Announce painful punishment to those who disbelieve” {quran 9:3}

Let’s look at the source of the Quran, and the irrational self-serving war lord named Mohammed who set about in the 7th century to re-writing the true law of Islam, which is Christianity , as found in the Bible and the Torah.

The self-proclaimed ‘prophet” made up and elaborated a set of rules that fed a lifestyle that fed personal ambition, greed, hatred and unlimited sex with whomever he wanted.

After his death, taking these rules as being very self-serving in the criminal minds of power hungry deviant rulers, thse writings of Mohammad were looked at seriously. It is with strategy, to take over lands and force slavery and increase power that Islamic doctrines were made, following the tyranty of Mohammad, and the rulebook for the Jihads verses Infidels was born.

To ensure that their perfect plan for domination was complete these criminal tyrants created the instructions for abuse of non-Muslims and claimed the Quran to be the last and only ‘revelation’ of God to the world, and any further writings, thoughts or new interpretations would cause the persons involved public torture and death.

Today the Quran is alive and well, protected by the Jihad inspired deception that it is not intolerant and is not violent. However, with the global events ever escalating in devious action, intolerant anti-social behaviour, and plots of murderous destruction in our very communities, the truth of Jihad Islamism is coming to light.

Defeating Jihad: How the War on Terrorism Can Be Won - in Spite of Ourselves
Serge Trifkovic is a former BBC commentator and US News and World Report reporter. He is currently the foreign desk editor Chronicles Of Culture. His last book The Sword Of The Prophet (also from ROP), has sold more than 50,000 copies and has been a main selection of the Conservative Book Club. Defeating Jihad is the sequel.
Jihad is an integral part of the Islamic teaching and tradition, which mandates violence against the so-called infidels as a means of pursuing the objective of a global “Dar-al-Islam,” the world of faith.
Jihad is an integral concept to the division of the world, in the Islamic tradition, into two parts.
One is Dar-al-Islam, and the other is Dar-al-Harb, the world of war. There is an inherent tension between the two. Jihad is the means by which the world of faith advances against the world of war.

Scary stuff Northstar, when I read quotes from the Koran I find it hard to comprehend that we are told it's a religion of peace. I look around the world and see that the Extremist are interperting the Koran to the extreme and twisting so much of it to feed their perverted and cruel egos. They really hate women don't they, I wonder why, Allah seemed extremely fond of women even children.
