how can my sister and brother say that war is good and has any holy meaning when they are killing everyother like nothing.
 
:sl:
JIhad is defence system of Islam.
When we ignore Jihad, Kuffar were never give us rights to live with peace.
Peace is come with power always, and Jihad is power of Muslims.
There are 484 ayaath on JIhad in Qur'an Majeed.
When we doing Jihad, we will save.
Today the kuffar are in power therefore no any peace present in the world.

In the following link you will find 484 Ayaath on Jihad.

what about the some of us who are killing each other because the think that the west is trying to take over. we need to really think about that JIHAd is to be a holy war not a killing free 4 all. the west looks at us beause we go to war wth our own people not with a care or about and some try to justfify it by saying that it a holy war and its for the sake of Allah now try to tell us that is ok.

:sl: The reason why there are so many misconceptions about Jihad is because people don't understand what it is. It is a struggle to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, a struggle to uphold justice, peace and security in the land. For more info:

Of course, there are millio0ns of problems in the Muslim world, and there is much fighting, but this is not Jihad. Jihad is fighting solely for god, to bring justice and security to the land.

Bukhari Volume 9, Book 83, Number 7:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
The Prophet said, "After me (i.e. after my death), do not become disbelievers, by striking (cutting) the necks of one another.

we need to really think about that JIHAd is to be a holy war not a killing free 4 all.

jihad is not a "holy war", as war is not holy. The term "holy war" was coined by the crusaders. jihad is a struggle for the pleasure of One's Lord. Please refer to the article I mentioned in my previous post.

Muslims need to educate eachother about the true Islamic concepts because otherwise we will die in ignorance.

ok what the pleasure one is to kill off all the non musilms ? is that ok

Killing non-muslims is HARAAM (PROHIBTED) and is NOT something pleasing to God.

6:151 Take not life, which God hath made sacred, except by way of justice and law: thus does He command you, that ye may learn wisdom.

17:33 Nor take life, which God has made sacred, except for just cause. And if anyone is slain wrongfully, We have given his heir authority (to demand Qisas(retribution) or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for he is helped (by the law)

8:61 But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things).

We can only fight people who are hostile and attack Muslims. We CANNOT attack peaceful non-muslims. If a non-muslim attacks us, then we may defend ourselves - that is jihaad. But we cannot go and kill a non-muslim who is not harming us! That is completely against the Qur'an and Sunnah.

but thats my point. if it not than there is a line that needs to said when we use that word.
 
What Does Jihad Mean?
Jamal A. Badawi, Ph.D.

The Qur’anic Arabic term Jihad has been commonly mistranslated as “Holy War”. The original Qur’an is in Arabic, not English. The Arabic equivalent of the English _expression “Holy War” is “ Harb Muqaddasah”, an _expression which is not found anywhere in the Qur’an or in the authentic sayings of the Prophet of Islam. Even when the Qur’an speaks about defensive war, it never glorifies it or calls it “Holy”, but as something which is inherently hated [2:216-217]. However, as a last resort, it may be better [than doing nothing in the face of aggression or oppression]. Furthermore, the term “Holy War” means, lexically, a fight on behalf of one religion against the other . There is no verse in the Qur’an that condones fighting any peaceful non-Muslim on the sole ground that he/she is a non-Muslim. The Qur’an prohibits compulsion in religion [2:256] and even allows some form of interfaith marriage. For example, a Muslim male may marry a Jewish or Christian woman [5:5]. It may be argued, from religious perspectives that the _expression “Holy War” is a contradiction of terms as there is nothing “Holy” about war and its results; bloodshed, destruction and human suffering. It may be a lesser evil, but not holy in itself.
It may be useful then to find out the meaning of “Jihad” in both its literal and religious meanings. Jihad is an Arabic term derived from the root “JHD” which means, literally, to strive or exert effort. The term Jihad and other similar terms derived from the same root are used in the Qur’an [the Muslim holy book] and in Hadeeth [sayings of Muhammad, Prophet of Islam] in three contexts. Firstly, it is used in the context of prayers, doing righteous deeds and self-purification; inward Jihad or struggle against evil inclinations within oneself [Qur’an, 22:77-78; 29:4-7]. Secondly, it is used in the context of social Jihad, or striving for truth, justice and goodness in one’s relationship with other humans. Examples of this usage include the payment of charity to the needy [49:15] and striving to persuade those who reject God’s prophets
by referring to the arguments presented in the Qur’an [25:51-52]. Thirdly, it is used in the context of the battlefield, which is often called, more specifically, Qital, which means fighting. That later form; the combative Jihad, is allowed in the Qur’an for legitimate self-defense in the face of unprovoked aggression or in resisting severe oppression, on religious or other grounds [2:190-194]. No other verse in the Qur’an, when placed in its proper textual and historical context, permit fighting others on the basis of their faith, ethnicity or nationality [60:8-9]. The Qur’an recognizes plurality in human societies, including religious plurality, as part of God’s plan in creation [10:19; 11:118-119]. It calls for peaceful and respectful dialogue, not forced conversion whether through war or other forms of coercion [3:64, 16:125, and 29:46].

:sl: But we're not allowing it, we're trying to shatter this misconception by spreading the true information abpout Jihaad.

If you're speaking about the current muslim governments and certain leaders, then I agree they aren't doing very much to propagate the true message of Islam.
