Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Reader comment on item: Jihad and the Professors

Academic bickering about the definition of "Jihad" proves that there can not be a consensus of opinion about certain verbs, adverbs and adjectives. "Beauty" is in the eye of the beholder as is "Jihad" in the deeds of the believer. The perpetrators of 9/11, their followers and paymasters have defined very succinctly their meaning of "Jihad" which supersedes all other definitions or interpretations.
