Jihad means struggle. That is all it means. Nothing more, nothing less. No educated historian would list it as a cause of death.

Jihad literally means to struggle in the name of Islam, this is not limited to violence and war. It also applies to the internal struggle, the struggle to maintain one's faith amongst difficulties and temptations, etc.
...When a Muslim maintains that “jihad” really means “a spiritual struggle” and fails to add that this particular definition is an 11th century invention that originated from a fabricated hadith which is universally rejected by Islamic scholars, he misleads by holding back the true violent nature of jihad, and is therefore practicing “kitman.”

Lesser vs Greater Jihad Fabrication
Kitman... ...rather than outright dissimulation, it consists in telling only part of the truth, with “mental reservation” justifying the omission of the rest (adjustment, deception etc, anything short of a full-blown lie).

That is the bigger picture, to focus on only one religion implies a huge amount of bias.
Who should we be focuing on as murdering Chritians in Nigeria?
• What great religion originated the term “jihad,” which means a permanent holy war against non-Muslims?
• What great and peaceful religion orders the killing of any individual who attempts to mock or draw a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed or question the veracity of the Koran?
• What great religion promises 72 awaiting virgins in paradise for a young man to strap a bomb to himself and take as many innocent lives with him as he can?
• What great religion teaches that deception is appropriate when it furthers their cause?
i'm sorry but i had just saw a video of it, and there were babies and little kids, along with women and men of all ages, just laying dead in the street. one baby was so decayed, he was no longer recognizable as a human being, laying right next to other dead babies and children. and all this is about bringing in sharia law.
some of the pictures were so bad. there was one where the child's head had been split right in half above the eyebrows and some kind of device (presumably a weapon or something), was jammed into the top of their skull, opened the skull and slid it back, brains leaking out unto the dirt and wires protruding from whatever that thing was. it was......i just don't have the words to tell you.

Well seeing as I grew up in a Muslim household, in a Muslim country, and went to regular Islamic Studies classes for years as a practicing Muslim - I probably know more about it than somebody who didn't.
That isn't to say I am a Muslim now, but I definitely understand the religion and its intentions.
something is going on. they hit sudan and genocided a bunch of black christians there.
now nigeria, libya and egypt. and those people are convinced that americans and brits are ordering it. if our leaders are ordering that..........!.
and you want me to be rational? i don't get it. be rational about genocide? should i be rational
about the killing of any racial/religious group, especially like this stuff?
hellloo. anybody in there?
Hundreds of millions of Muslims can't read the the Qur'an in Arabic.
Go figure.
it is probably a good guess that you are indeed a Muslim.
Once a Muslim, always a Muslim?
