First, we would like to start with stating that Islam does not call for violence; rather it abhors all forms of violence and terrorism, whether against Muslims or non-Muslims. Islam, moreover, calls for peace, cooperation, and maintaining justice, and provides for the happiness and welfare of humanity as a whole. This fact is declared in the Qur'an when Allah says: (Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition.) (An-Nahl 16: 90)

Jihad is one of the words that have been misused due to misunderstanding its true meaning. The word “Jihad” is derived from the Arabic word “Jahd” which means fatigue or the word “Juhd” which means effort. A Mujahid is he who strives in the Cause of Allah and exerts efforts which makes him feel fatigued. The word “Jihad” means exerting effort to achieve a desired thing or prevent an undesired one. In other words, it is an effort that aims at bringing about benefit or preventing harm.

Jihad can be observed through any means and in any field whether material or moral. Among the types of Jihad are struggling against one’s desires, the accursed Satan, poverty, illiteracy, disease, and fighting all evil forces in the world.

There are many religious texts that refer to these types of Jihad. Among the forms of Jihad is defending life, property or honor. Those who die while engaging in Jihad are considered to be martyrs, as confirmed by Hadith. Jihad is also done to avert aggression on home countries and on all that is held sacred, or in order to face those who try to hinder the march of the call of truth.

In Islamic Shari`ah, Jihad in the Cause of Allah means fighting in order to make the Word of Allah most high, and the means for doing so is taking up arms in addition to preparation, financing and planning strategies. A large number of people are supposed to take part in Jihad including farmers, craftsmen, traders, doctors, engineers, workers, security men, preachers, writers and all those who directly or indirectly participate in the battle.

This type of Jihad was a major concern of Muslims in the beginning of the formation of the Islamic community, and a lot of verses of the Glorious Qur’an and the Hadith advocated and encouraged it. Almighty Allah says: (March forth, whether you are light (being healthy, young and wealthy) or heavy (being ill, old and poor) and strive with your wealth and your lives in the Cause of Allah.) (At-Tawbah 9: 41) Jihad is considered an individual duty (Fard `Ein), on all Muslims who are capable and fit to fight, in the event of being invaded by the enemy, and is considered a collective duty (Fard Kifayah) in the event of not being invaded. However, if the Imam (leader) calls to Jihad, people must respond to his call. This is evident from Allah’s Saying, (O you who believe! What is the matter with you, that when you are asked to march forth in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad) you cling heavily on the earth?) (At-Tawbah 9: 38), and the Hadith narrated by Al-Bukhari and Muslim, “When you are called to Jihad, then go forth.”

What is so scary is that the very ability to even consider having a backlash, even when one is obviously needed (whether or not one thinks that time has come YET, it will come eventually if the spread of Islam is not stopped in the West) has been brainwashed out of the average citizen of the West. This neutralizing of the normal self-defense mechanisms of a civilization will prove to have severe even fatal consequences for the West. Everyone has heard the advice to just give a robber what he wants to avoid getting killed, well that has been taken to the extreme in the case of Islam. It would be like seeing someone breaking into your home, raping all the women, taking what they want, even taking the deed to the property, and the man of the house just sitting there observing, nodding in tacit approval, knowing that somehow someway he deserves it. There are only small glimpses of sanity such as when in England normal Western citizens protested against the Muslims who were protesting against the returning soldiers. But other than that one is hard pressed to find anything even remotely beginning to approach a protest from the average Western citizen against Islam let alone an actual backlash. It is hard not to think that the West is doomed, that its fate is sealed.

But factually it is correct to say that from the standpoint of someone who knows God from the Christian Bible, i.e. the Jewish or Christian God, that the entity in the Bible known as Satan would be the closest match for what in the Koran and in Islam is known as Allah.

It really is pointless to allow Islam into the West. We know from the start that it is a system designed to replace our existing system. We know that it will require eternal vigilance against terror which will be massively costly and time wasting. There is zero benefit to be had from allowing Islam into the West. All further expansion of Islam in the West must be stopped immediately. Who wants to live in a country where you are under constant threat of being blown up randomly at the store or at work? End Muslim immigration and expansion now.

Must-see films. You will never doubt again that America is in grave danger of jihad from within. Try to view on-line, but they are well worth buying (I own both of them).

In Sudbury, a suburb of Boston, a radical Islamic terrorist was just arrested yesterday (see links below).

This terrorist is a “teacher” at the Islamic Center of Boston (otherwise known as Mayor Menino's Mosque). It is truly a Center for Hate.
What concerns me most are the Useful Idiot Fifth Column – numbering in the millions – who think that all we need is a group hug to fix everything up. I can deal with Islamic terrorists, but I canNOT deal with their left-wing American enablers.
