Muslim Woman: Jihad A Question Today
The concept of Jihad in Islam has been grossly
misunderstood, rather distorted. In the West, where it has
been presented as barbarism, as aggressive use of brute
force. The term militant Islam, which has been in vogue in
the world Press recently, is a follow-up of this very
approach to the fundamental concept of Islam and a
continuation of the old Jihad phobia of the non Muslims.
Jihad means striving utmost to achieve an objective. The
primary objective before the Muslims is establishment of a
social order based on the Quranic fundamental principles.
All efforts to that end fall with in the meaning of Jihad.
Armed fight against formidable resistance by self seeking
people, which is called Qatal is also Jihad and has been
allowed by the Quran. Otherwise, Islam is a Deen of peace
and safety.
Three questions arise here:
? Is Islam really a Deen of peace, justice, and tolerance.
? Does it allow discriminate fighting against the enemy,
or has it laid down certain checks and rules for it.
? Under what circumstances did the Muslims fight against
non-Muslims.

A suggestion: Please change the subtitle of your blog to the grammaticaly correct, "What Status Does the Quran Grant Women?".
La haula quata illah billah.
