Very interesting look at the actual meaning of the infamous "jihad."
I wanted to share it with anyone reading, so I'll just link it up - as I don't want to get sued for re-posting copywritten material on my blog! (I'm still waiting for Paris to sue me over those Eiffel Tower pics!!!) Below is the opening paragraph with a link to the full article
What Does 'Jihad' Really Mean?by Jamie Tarabay
After years of using the word "jihadist" to describe terrorists who carry out attacks against civilians and the U.S. military, the Bush administration has finally realized that doing so actually pays those groups a compliment in the eyes of some Muslims. (full story...)
I'm sure this is probably nothing new to some of my more gloablly educated readers, but regardless I hope you find it as interesting and perhaps enlightening as I did.
Cheers!
