The definition of "Jihad" is wrong I believe. Getting one of the most basic tenants of Islam wrong.......
We all know you are a totally clueless Islamic apologist who is wrong about most things relating to Islam, you put respect for ancient beliefs before respect for humanity.
You should read the Book Of Jihad by the Islamic scholar Ibn Nuhaas,was Ibn Nuhaas wrong,why do all muslims say this is the best book on jihad?

No, you're clueless one. Taipan's post and now your's assumes there is only one definition of "Jihad". There are actually several. "In Arabic, the word jihād is a noun meaning "struggle" or "resisting"."
That does not necessarily have to be a physical struggle, which is the exclusive definition that you're using. Most Islamic scholars accept that it can also mean a personal religious struggle. The word jihad appears frequently in the Quran, often in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of God (al-jihad fi sabil Allah)"
Quote:Muslims and scholars do not all agree on its definition. Within the context of the classical Islamic law, it refers to struggle against those who do not believe in the Islamic God (Allah) and do not acknowledge the submission to Muslims,[6] and so is often translated as "Holy War",[7][8][9] although this term is controversial.[10] According to the Dictionary of Islam[3] and Islamic historian Bernard Lewis, in the large majority of cases jihad has a military meaning.[11] Javed Ghamidi states that there is consensus amongst Islamic scholars that the concept of jihad will always include armed struggle against wrong doers.[12]

So, claiming that it exclusively refers to armed struggle against "infidels" is wrong.
As always, you show us the depth of your bigotry Baron. You search for and always find the worst possible light in which to portray Muslims and Islam.
