Jihad... and other terrible things from Islam

Jihad: The Teachings of Islam
from its primary sources - the Qur’an and Hadith
Adapted from a study by Rev. Richard P. Bailey

[Note: This is a many-paged study. Please don't begin or comment unless you intend to carefully and fully read ALL these verses from the Qur’an and the traditions (Hadith) on the subject of Jihad. It is my intent simply to make it possible for you to make your own judgment as to the teaching of Islam about Jihad.]

Holy struggle

Dependent on circumstances and actions taken. For instance a heated discussion over Islam that ended with agreeing to disagree would be on the right hand side meanwhile the followers of Sayyid Qutb with bombs and bullets would be on the left hand side.

Henry, you mean like the american soldiers in Iraq?

Jihad is to fight for the sake of God. NO other war is allowed in Islam. Nothing for personal gain, wealth etc. Only war for the sake of God, and spreading the message of Islam.
