Jihad means 'struggle'.....now you are so desperate, that you are propogating lies... And please stick to English, you aren't impressing me or others with your very basic foos7a.....Wow you just spoke one sentence in modern standard, suddenly İ should be proud of you.

Jihad means "strive" or "struggle." You strive to stay on the path of being in the middle --not right and not left. İn the middle. The way Allah commanded all of the Ummah.

İ am fed up of debating on this website. İ tried to bridge the gap and convince you people that İslam and the West can co-exist. We are all human beings

But you all are hell-bent on smearing the reputation of my religion -and that is fine. Keep it up. İ feel sorry for you, that you can only be hateful ...
