Misunderstanding or misinterpretation of jihad

Submitted by peter (South Africa), Sep 10, 2009 at 11:03

Thanks to those of you who have clarified the real meaning of jihad which means that the radical members of the Muslim faith have used their interpretation of jihad as a means to satisfy and further their own violent interests and therefore are not actually muslims but just criminals like any other misguided criminal.

Then it is up to the true Muslims to deal with this criminal element and stop them from car bombing anyone and everyone in the name of Allah, or am I again misstaken?

As Christians we should of course do the same with our Christian hooligans!
