Jihad

Terrorism is a psychological warfare. Terrorists try to control and manipulate us. They alter our behavior by generating fear, insecurity, and division in society. I selected to view the PBS documentary on "Jihad: The men and ideas behind Al Qaeda". It seemed interesting to learn in depth view, the mind thought and actions of a terrorist. It was very disturbing to learn how some people were driven by a changing thought of violence and hatred towards the West. I also briefly read a book by…

“lesser Jihad means ‘have to use arms’ if someone attacks you, use jihad to protect themselves… when the attacker stops, then they stop” (class notes). There was often a misconception about the meaning of Jihad that it only meant violence, however this was the minor meaning. The major meaning of jihad is an internal struggle. This goes all the way back to Mohammed Abdullah; the creator of Islam. Before this the Middle East was very separate and chaotic; Mohammed created a place for unity at the…

justification in Jihad, stating that the rules of engagement had changed due to new technologies. The most important contribution to earning his name as the “the spiritual founder of al-Qaida”, was formulating the theories of al-Qaida al Sulba (the firm foundation). These theories of al-Qaida al Sulba developed the idea and purpose of al-Qaida. Azzam’s books refer to a foundation, like that of a financial foundation that helps those in need. However, the idea of help was that of Jihad and…

intent of said group is to establish an Islamic rule in the country as part of the global jihad. The group was first known as Jama’atul Muslemin in 2007 and in 2013, it was renamed as ABT, which effectively uses the internet and other mediums to promote their extremist ideas and to spread the messages from their al-Qaeda preachers, in order to radicalize the youth and encourage them to participate in the local Jihad (Admin, 2016). 2. Jama'atul Mujahideen…

Europe supported crusades attacks against Muslims in the past, and the concept of jihad appeared in the side of Muslims against non-Muslims. Of course, some of Muslims interpreted on jihad very aggressively that they aimed to kill non-Muslims, but most of Muslims did not have any aim like that. Today, Islamic terrorism has the concept of jihad against non-Muslims. Because of this, the Europeans have been afraid of jihad and its outcomes.…

Islamic Terrorist Camps Terrorist camps in America are becoming a major threat. The United States is trying to be more aware of who and what these camps are, and also what could be watched for with these camps growing in population. Michelle Bachman, a former congress woman, said,”. . . [United States] national law enforcement agencies have a duty to secure the safety of the American people- that is the number one duty of the government” (SCARY). The terrorist camps are becoming a serious…

He does not seek to refute these views, but he is careful to note that generating support from the Muslim masses is a critical component to the success of jihad. His book also serves as a signal that Al Qaeda was taking the role of the vanguard element within Islam that Qutb spoke of in his book Milestones. However, the various calls for jihad in Israel, Egypt and Saudi Arabia to take the holiest places in Islam were a bridge too…

Laden has called for a global jihad, and has also explained his attacks were part of a defensive jihad against America. Jihad is the most prominent and essential key to understanding the reasoning behind terrorist attacks in the name of Islam. Jihad’s meaning and interpretation will play the major recurring issue in understanding throughout the book. Jihads literal meaning is “to struggle”. If one were to ask several muslims what their definition of the meaning of jihad they might get multiple…

your selection was not for name or display, rather you were handed over the responsivity of training and watching of those people. Therefore, officials should strongly keep in mind that junior mujahedin should be monitored. Teach them the ethics of jihad and of dealing with people. They should be praised for doing good and reprimanded for doing something improper. The mujahedin Taliban should seriously keep in mind these few words and important guidance mentioned in Mansur sahib speech. Pay…

Terrorism in an age of religious freedom Terrorism in our day is thought to be associated with confrontational activities which infringe human and civil rights. Terrorism is the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Did terrorism begin after September the 9th or did the word inaugurate from some time back in history? Moreover, when did it start and were Muslims associated with terrorism like they are today? The first use in the English…
