Why doesn’t YWN and Aish report the root behind Jihad terrorist attacks
In their holy book they are commanded to do violent jihad against infidels in order to establish sharia law (Islamic law) across the whole entire globe
Here’s a cookie. Now explain all the people who claim to believe
in the same book, but do not commit terrorist attacks…
Maybe they’re the Islamic version of Karaim.
B’Avonosaynu H’Rabim
They interpret it differently.
In one version of it, which is growing in comparison to the rest because they kill the others.
Comlink-X, in addition to the stated above, some of them may not be so religious and strictly follow what it says there.
Yes, people sit on the sidelines. There have been millions of Americans who supported war in Iraq, but didn’t personally serve in the military. In Islamic countries, there are millions who support the terrorists, but aren’t personally terrorists (people the liberals like to call “innocent”). If you compare the percentage of Germans who supported Hitler, Japanese who supported the emperor, and Muslims who support terrorism, you will see that we have a very very big problem.
As for the OP, you can’t possibly expect YWN to write at the end of every article “Let’s remember, they’re doing this because it says … in the Quran.” That’s just silly.
OP—There are multiple streams of Islam, plus the modern orthodox equivalent. Sufi Islam,
For example(the more kabbalistic) version, is beshita against violence and jihad. They interpret jihad to be a metaphoric and spiritual battle.
There are over 1 billion Muslims in the world, if they were all murderous terrorists, what situation would we be in?
As frumJews, since we’re expected to be at the very least conversant with the Torah, we often misunderstand other religions. Most Xtians have never read the New Testament. The vast, vast majority of Muslims have never read the Quran. Even from the frum ones, an enormous amount have not been through their basic religious texts.
Sufi Islam, for example (the more mystical version), is beshita against violence and jihad. They interpret jihad to be a metaphoric
and spiritual battle.
Given the actions of Mohammed, it’s pretty easy to think they’re wrong.

Actually, the percentage of terror-approving Muslims is far
lower than that of Hitler-supporting Germans (and probably
emperor-supporting Japanese). (Yes, I have watched By the Numbers: The Untold Story of Muslim Opinions and Demographics.)

That’s silly. They’re all wrong.
It’s amazing how many Quran scholars we have in the coffee room
Matan1, that’s the beauty of anonymous chat rooms like the CR: anybody can be an expert on anything. Did you know that I can write a washing bill in Babylonic cuneiform?
