Our dear Ammar and on being a victim of Arabian imperialism

Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?
in response to reader comment: A Clarification of Jihad

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Jul 21, 2008 at 06:59

Our dear Ammar does not seem to be aware that the Qur'an a book that he cannot read in Arabic says that isllam is the religion of the Hijazi Arabs only wrote

>The side of Jihad that you are pertaining to is a twisted interpretation of the LESSER Jihad, which is to ward off an external enemy who is bringing death and destruction to your homeland (what is the National Guard for?).

One word: Bogus. If you are correct then why did Muslims invade the civilized Middle East and beyond starting in 633CE and brutliazed your ancestors in the porcess? Oh could it be because your Arabian Allah would get 1/5 of the loot collected by Muslims from infidels (Q8:41)? And where would I find the term al-jihad al-asghar in the Qur'an? And no I do not translate Arabic for wannabe Arabs like you. Oh let me help you: you will never find such term in the Qur'an and do you know why? Because the word Jihad means holy war and if you did not know that much then you are either ignorant or you are a liar so which one is it?

National guard? shame on you for comparing the national guard with the Arabs and their imperialism

Now for the readers check Hans Wehr dictionary page 142B and you will find

Jihad (jeem heh alif dal) jihad fight, battle, jihad holy war against the infidels as a religious duty

It is all in black and white and notice that there in no such thing as greater and lesser jihad as our dear Ammar the wannabe Arab claims

Now if you turn to page 143A you will find the word ijtihad or strives to improve but the likes of our dear Ammar the wannabe Arab ijtihad becomes jihad and so much for his ignorance

> The GREATER Jihad, which was conveniently left unmentioned,

And where would I find: al-jihad al-akbar in the Qur'an a book that you cannot read in Arabic or in an Arabic language dictionary? You will never find it.

>is a battle within one's self against inner evils (greed, lust, etc.).

Bogus and here is your little lesson in Arabic for today:

We have the following stems from the Arabic language root JHD

1. Yujahid means he fights a holy war, and a Mujahid means a holy fighter and jihad means holy war

2. Yajtahid means he strives to improve (see above your bogus greater jihad), and a mujtahid means he who strives to improve and ijtihad means striving to improve

3. Yajhud means he strains, and majhud means he who is strained, and juhd means strain physical strain that is.

4. And wannabe Arabs and Pakistanis like you have no clue that jihad is very different from ijtihad

How come you did not know that?

>I hope I was able to clarify this issue.

Clarify what? That you are ignorant? OK I will give you a second chance so where would I find in an Arabic language dictionary al-jihad al-sagheer wa al-jihad al-kabeer? Oh the following will not be regarded as evidence:

1.wikipedia

2. My ignorant Mullah told me so

3. I Ammar the wannabe arab said

4. Pakistani Muslim web sites

>Peace,
Ammar

What peace? I urge you to abandon Islam and by whole again and you need to stick to Urdu and why do you live in Mexico?
