Jihad- A way to mobilize

Submitted by Vinay Dayal (United States), Jan 15, 2003 at 09:23

A great article, and finally some one had the guts to say what jihad really is. For tens of centuries the Islamic marauders have invoked the people in the name of Jihad to kill, rape and plunder people all over Asia, Europe and Africa. They had found an easy way of making wealth, not by creating it but by looting it. So the Islamic puritans can say what ever they want to, but in fact Jihad, for every non-muslim, means hatred, killing, and destruction.

Islam claims to be a peaceful religion, but histroy shows the contrary. If any religion can call itself to be peaceful, that is Budhism. Despite 50 years of Chinese occupation of their mother land, Tibetens have not become terrorists, but their struggle for freedom is not over. They are truly a peaceful people.
