"Jihad means getting to a better place"

An Islamic-advocacy group linked to terrorism is launching a public-relations campaign to argue that jihad doesn’t mean Islamic holy war, but instead a “concerted effort … with the purpose of getting to a better place.”

However, the campaign, which is being launched Dec. 14 by an affiliate of the Council on American Islamic Relations, isn’t a formal religious declaration by United States or Arab Islamic authorities, and it does clash with orthodox judgments dating back 1,400 years to the beginning of Islam.

No wave of “Islamophobia to see here, move on!”

Jihad means killing

Well, don’t take my word for it: take it from a good muslim: Maulana Masood Azhar

“Chief of banned militant outfit Jaish-e-Mohammed Maulana Masood Azhar has said that in Islam the only meaning of Jihad was killing, even as another militant group supporter asked Pakistan to declare that suicide bombing against West was Jihad.” This from Press Trust of India.

“In Islam the only meaning of jihad was killing, and those who projected the concepts of Jihad Akbar and Jihad Asghar were against Islam,” Azhar was quoted by an Urdu daily Nawa-e-Waqt as saying.

Nice little school you got, what a shame if something happened to it:

Paki Muslims threatened to bomb church school unless it paid them $51,000

“Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

“‘Militants’ threaten Paki church school for Malala support,” from the BBC, December 14 (thanks to Blazing Cat Fur):

Authorities in Pakistan have held three people over a threat to bomb a church school in Islamabad unless it paid them $51,000 (£38,000), officials say.A letter sent to the school, apparently by a little-known militant group, demanded cash for not bombing it.

“Getting to a better place”

#MyJihad in Pakistan: Jihadists murder fifteen in blast at market

These bombers are clearly misunderstanders of Islam who don’t realize that jihad is just helping little old ladies across the street. “Blast in Pakistani market kills at least 15 people,” from Reuters, December 17

#MyJihad in Syria:

Jihadist rebels burn down Shia mosque

They have been targeting Christians for some time, and now Shi’ites. Such a lovely, democratic, pluralist state they will set up once Assad is gone — thanks to Barack Obama. (JW)

Federal judge says Tulsa didn’t violate police captain’s rights by punishing him for refusing to attend Islamic proselytizing event

An unconscionable pro-Sharia ruling — but this fight is far from over. “Federal Judge Dismisses Constitutional Claims of Tulsa Police Captain Punished for Objecting to Order Mandating Attendance at Islamic Event,” from the American Freedom Law Center, December 14:

What they don’t tell you is that the “better place” they’re talking about is complete “forced” submission to islam & sharia law for all non-muslims.
