A Challenge to all Muslims
Reader comment on item: Jihad through History

Submitted by Daoud (United States), Apr 23, 2006 at 21:47

To the Muslims that display their ignorance of Islamic History and teaching of their prophet and claim that "Jihad" means doing the good deeds and bettering oneself spiritually.

I would like to challenge any Muslim anywhere in the Muslim world to provide the following as a proof. After all the Quran does say "Hat-ul- Burhan in kutu sadikin" (produce your evidence if you be truthfull).

1-Name one, verifiable organization anywhere in the Muslim world that has the term "Jihad" is it and it is 100% commited to taking care of people and teaching on how to be more spiritul.

2-Show one example from the Muslim world where an Imam has issued a call to Jihad and people went home to fast, pray and give to the poor.

3-Why is it that when ever there is a call for Jihad and many innocent people end up dying?

Wake up my Muslim brothers and sisters time is getting closer when we will all stand before God and give account. After reading my posting you now will not be able to claim ignorance before God for you have been educated.

Wa Salam
Daoud
