Description
Summary:<p><em>The precise meaning of jihad is confusing to even moslem themselves and</em>,<em> let alone</em>,<em> nonmoslem. Many conceive jihad as a sort of physical war against enemies. Jihad also means conquering and subjugating nonmuslims and forcing them to convert to Islamic faith as their religion. But</em>,<em> if we look at in detail the Quranic verses and the hadith</em>,<em> we shall underline that jihad could also be meant as any kind of holding God’s commands.</em></p><p><em>Observing religious practices</em>,<em> helping the poor</em>,<em> being patient and all good deeds are also jihad. Jihad in terms of the war is only allowed when muslims are being attacked by enemies</em>,<em> as what now happens in Afghanistan and Palestine. The association of jihad with violence</em>,<em> especially after the September 11 attack in the U.S. is a more political trick of the West</em>,<em> especially the U.S.</em>,<em> rather than an exact definition of jihad itself.</em></p>
