Your friendly neighbourhood Jihad

Yid with Lid (on my blogroll) has a great discussion of how a California (where else?) textbook talks about Jihad in glowing and soothing terms, as it blandly describes the Jihad as a form of personal struggle, or sometimes doing something your parents want you to do but that you don't want (to do): http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59707. There is no mention of the thousands of people who have been killed around the world in the name of Jihad, or that little thing we here on the East Coast like to to call 9/11.

Somewhere, Ayman al-Zawahiri is reading this story and smiling....................

A brief discusssion of Jihad from Buhari's Hadith. Draw your own conclusion:

Fighting for the Cause of Allah
Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52


41:
Narrated Abdullah bin Masud:
I asked Allah's Apostle, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.


42:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle said, "There is no Hijra (i.e. migration) (from Mecca to Medina) after the Conquest (of Mecca), but Jihad and good intention remain; and if you are called (by the Muslim ruler) for fighting, go forth immediately.


43:
Narrated 'Aisha:
(That she said), "O Allah's Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed. Should we not fight in Allah's Cause?" He said, "The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj-Mabrur (i.e. Hajj which is done according to the Prophet's tradition and is accepted by Allah)."


44:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope."
