Another major topic in the news lately about Islam and its book has been on the subject jihad. There are stereotypes of Muslims who follow the Qur’an where their tradition a warrior religion. Then after 9/11, it has become more of a religion with a bunch of terrorists following jihad law. (Aslan 80) People see it as a tradition of violence and hatred. While Islam does seem to have history of violence, the same can be said many other traditions like Christianity. It is said that the idea of a “Holy War” was not in the Islamic theology before the time of the Crusaders.( Aslan 82)
