i pity that you have to be so condesending and throw around arabic words to mask the fact ... seriously, come down from your high horse! i don't mind constructive criticism and i don't mind listening to other people's opinnion...but when people (such as yourself, "darling") express their opinions in ways that not only make sense but are bigoted and rude, then it just illustrates they're simply looking for a fight.

in my opinnion, the author wrote an extremely one-sided article that gave no true insight into jihad. his construction positioned the audience to view jihad as a war against the western world. it just adds to the various western media outlets that portray muslims as violent terrorists. and before you leap into an argument about this with me - i agree, yes, there is a percentage of muslims that are terrorists - but there is a larger percentage of muslims that are simply 'normal' and live life without killing a soul.

when you asked "What internal struggle darling?" i meant the internal struggling against external evils. for instance, maintaining a strong moral fibre or trying to develop a right relationship with God and those around you.

you're very right that many Muslims regard women as pieces of meat. but there a many non-Muslim men that bash their wives - in America alone 4 million women experience abuse within a 12 month period. however, i have no words of defence for ali-Hilali...he is nothing. he knows nothing. he is simply a man that has it all wrong.

oh, and next time you present someone an argument..try to make your points clearer, honestly you contradict yourself half the time.
