According to Spencer, these four systems differ in detail but “all agree that jihad is a collective religious obligation binding the community, and it becomes an individual responsibility whenever the Islamic world is attacked.”
Spencer argues that the commandment of jihad cannot be repudiated by Muslim leaders — even those who may be personally horrified by the evils of 9/11 and other acts of terrorism committed in the name of jihad — because the authority for them is hard-wired into the Qur’an itself.
According to Spencer, Muslim leaders can’t say — as Christian ones can — that the nastiest parts of the Old Testament were specifically set aside by their religion’s own prophet.
