Jihad: it's not your momma's spiritual struggle

In an Ottawa Citizen (August 29th, 2014) article whose intention it was to be serious (at least allegedly) had me needing a "change of Haines," Ahmed Sahia discussed Islam in his opinion piece entitled: "Young radicals don't reflect Muslim converts."

Who does Ahmed think is converting to Islam, getting over to Syria to fight for ISIS, a gaggle of choir boys turned Muslim? This guy is as funny as "Ahmed the Terrorist" of Jeff Dunham fame. 

The thrust of the article was about that word that has finally become embedded into the brains of liberals long after most conservatives knew what it meant--jihad.

What taqiyya looks like
Sahia writes: "Jihad. Of the countless foreign words adopted into English, it is one of the most stigmatized and politically charged terms there is."

I wonder why.

He goes on: "It's this simple: "jihad" is an Arabic word that means "struggle." This is followed by a lot of explaining just how much Islam is a "religion of peace."

I disagree.

Of all the religions in the world today, Islam is the most intolerant. It is a religion that sees itself as the one and only true religion in existence, and their holy scripture, the Koran, is the perfect book for all time.

Aside from the fact that the Koran could be written by anyone with good writing skills and the knowledge one gets by the time they complete the 7th grade, it says a lot of awful things about everyone in the world who refuses to believe in Islam. 

For instance, there are over 109 verses that call for Muslims to fight the unbelievers, and that's just the Koran. The Hadith (Mohammed's biography written by several "scholars" of Islam over the centuries) describes more hideous killing and anti-Semitic sentiments.

The misconception that jihad is an internal "struggle" is as honest as "you can keep your health plan." Sure it means "struggle" but it has as many connotations as Hamas has hidden tunnels. The Islamic Republic of Iran has a Department of Agricultural Jihad and this has nothing to do with blowing yourself up at a border crossing.

But it isn't about Allah's mercy when asked to struggle in the name of jihad. No, it's about warfare,  "and have never since doubted, but have striven with their belongings and their persons in the Cause of Allah; such are the sincere ones" (49:15). What belongings do you take along with your person on a "spiritual struggle?" 

To lie for the sake of promoting Islam is called "taqiyya." It was prescribed by Mohammed, the head liar of the warriors. He had one of his men do it in order to kill a co-terrorist who betrayed Mo. Of course, if you cross Mo, the 'godfather,' your head was removed with a blunt sword (see ISIS).

So next time a Muslim tells you that jihad is not about warfare, just nod your head in agreement or he weel keel you.
