Oh hey, I'm wrong.

Jihad is actually Arabic for struggle, fight, battle.

Book: Arabic Dictionary.

Arabic for struggle ... and so what religion is exercising this term "Jihad" at this present time ?

Technically none of them and all of them.

A religion is an idea and can't do anything itself.  The people who keep the idea alive, however, are struggling, battling, and fighting.  You're a man of faith, yes?  Would you say you're struggling in some way?  Like... struggling to get us to realize your point of view?

If yes, then you too are having Jihad.

So if the Muslims are experiencing "Jihad" Internally (personal inward struggle) .... why are they murdering people all over the planet ?

Clearly you need to watch more news.
Humans kill other humans all the time.  Religion has nothing to do with it.

Clearly you need to educate yourself concerning the issue of Jihad as it pertains to the Muslim religion
the Satanic Inspired Religion has everything to do with it

I fail to see your point.  Humans kill each other.  Claiming the set dressing is the source of the desire to kill is pointless as there are millions of examples of violence not linked to any religion.

No Religion= Peace

Can someone here explain to me what the term "Jihad" means ? and what "holy book" this term is attributed to ?

Its the same thing as a holy crusade: someome decides to go to war against another group and uses religion to convince people to fight in the war.

well .... we see how the term "Jihad" gets applied to Islam < Obvious ....
what would be the equivalent term that gets applied to Christianity producing the same affect ? as in "holy crusade" .... is holy crusade mentioned in the Christian New Testament ?

[Boodidlie]

there are millions of examples of violence not linked to any religion

I agree .... so then how does "no Religion"= Peace ?

It does not. Nor have I ever stated it does.


You are the one stating that peace (or more peaceful) would be achived with the elimination on one religion.

No ..... I'm just talking to the thread topic ...... "No Religion= Peace"
ALL are "Religious" even the "no-Religion" are religious .... and a World running from God will never know peace

So tell me Atheists (No Religion) / Flat Earth and like minded Folks ..... what is the Religion that North Korea is threatening war in the name of ?
=================================================

* America and Japan Vow to take ‘all necessary measures’ to protect allies from North Korea
