Islam is the only religion whose doctrine requires holy war against the unbelievers. It is worse than other religions. Yes there are some iffy parts of the Old Testament, but with regard to warfare, they are purely historical as far as I know. According to the Bible, God has commanded such things in the past. And yes Christianity has indulged in holy war, although (some) crusading was in self-defence against Muslim Jihad, and trying to recapture former Christian lands. Muslims were the real aggressors. The fact that Christians have done it in the past, (or may still persecute today) is not the same as it being part of the religions doctrine. |
You idiot, Jihad doesnt mean "Holy War". Jihad is to carry on a struggle in the ways of God or for the ways of God and it can be experienced in personal ways such as a jihad against temptation.
