	The Islamic Jihad: the Imperative of Holy War
		According to the Islamic Jihad, Israel is the spearhead of the imperialist West in the center of the Muslim world; this pernicious factor must therefore be eliminated as the first step toward the return of all Muslims to the faith and the establishment of an Islamic state on all Muslim territory.
		One indicator of the relative strength of Islamic Jihad activists in the territories was the success of the general strike called by the organization on December 6, 1992, to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Intifada.
		Islamic Jihad ideology, in which the "liberation of Palestine" is defined as the first and principal objective on the road to an Islamic revolution throughout the Middle East, has been a convenient basis for tight collaboration among Jihad groups in the territories and Jordan, and between them and Yasser Arafat's Fatah organization.

	Islamic Jihad definition - Zionism and Israel -Encyclopedia / Dictionary/Lexicon of Zionism/Israel/
		Islamic Jihad (Al-Jihad al-Islami) is thought to have emerged as a nationalist splinter from the Muslim Brotherhood in 70s or 80s, arguing that the struggle against occupation had to precede spreading religious values in society.
		According to the Islamic Jihad, a proper reading of the Quran and an ‎understanding of history would lead to the conclusion that Palestine is the focus ‎of the religio-historical confrontation between the Muslims and their eternal ‎enemies, the Jews.
		Jihad is the only way to liberate Palestine, ‎since Muslim victory and the elimination of Israel are foreordained by God’s ‎words in the Quran.‎ Shiqaqi praised Ayatollah Khomeini for being the first Muslim leader to give ‎Palestine its proper place in his Islamic ideology.

		Jihad should not be confused with Holy War; the latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War.
		Jihad is not a war to force the faith on others, as many people think of it.
		Jihad is not a defensive war only, but a war against any unjust regime.

		The broader interpretation of jihad as spiritual resistance against evil was denounced as a "fabricated tradition" invented to "reduce the value of fighting with the Sword, so as to distract the Muslims from fighting the infidels and the hypocrites." (paragraph 88).
		Thus, "there is no doubt that the first battlefield for jihad is the extermination of these infidel leaders and to replace them by a complete Islamic Order" (paragraph 70).
		Jihad organization members also made use of the sayings of Ibn Taymiyya in their rhetoric calling for Sadat's overthrow.

	Jihad Watch
		Because the West is facing a concerted effort by Islamic jihadists, the motives and goals of whom are largely ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world -- and to commit violence to that end even while their overall goal remains out of reach.
		The theology of jihad, which denies unbelievers equality of human rights and dignity, is available today for anyone with the will and means to bring it to life.
		Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts.

	Jihad Watch: Islamic Jihad: No ceasefire in 2006
		Islamic Jihad claimed it was committed to the truce in 2005, and that the attacks were retaliation for perceived Israeli truce violations.
		In a statement Saturday, Islamic Jihad said: "We reaffirm that the official end of the truce agreed to in Cairo last March comes at midnight on Saturday." It was not clear whether the group would participate in talks on extending the cease-fire.
		Interesting to note that Islamic Jihad -- an organization which is substantially supported by Iran -- rather than Hamas is leading the effort to sabotage any sort of ceasefire negotiations with Israel.

	BBC NEWS \| Middle East \| Who are Islamic Jihad?
		Islamic Jihad may be one of the best known names associated with Palestinian militancy, but it has always been a relatively small and shadowy organisation.
		Jihad has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks since the outbreak of the intifada in September 2000, ranging from armed infiltrations of Jewish settlements and ambushes to car bombs and suicide bombings on Israeli buses.
		But Jihad cells have also resorted to less "conventional" terrorist tactics, such as the stoning to death of two 14-year-old boys abducted from a West Bank settlement in May 2001.

		The Islamic Jihad’s armed wing, the al-Quds Brigades, announced Thursday it would accept the document of principles written up by Palestinian prisoners and initiated by jailed Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, which called for establishing an independent Palestinian nation on the ’67 borders next to Israel.
		The statement also suggests that Islamic Jihad is solely responsible for all terror attacks carried out in Israel in the past year, or since a cease fire was declared by the Palestinian organizations in March 2005.
		In addition, the statement also indicates a willingness on the part of Islamic Jihad’s armed wing to accept the document of principles in its entirety, including the agreement on the establishment of a Palestinian state next to Israel and the recognition of the PLO and past agreements with Israel.

		Recently (2002) Islamic Jihad has been funding terror attacks and operations by other groups, including the Al-Aqsa brigades, apparently from sums received from Iran and funneled through the Lebanese Hisbulla.
		The Islamic Jihad’s ideology blended Palestinian nationalist ideas with themes ‎drawn from three other sources: the ideology of the Muslim Brethren; patterns of ‎activity of the militant Islamist groups in Egypt; and, uniquely among Sunni ‎movements, the teachings of Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shi`i leader of the Islamic ‎revolution in Iran.‎
		While Islamic Jihad preceded Hamas (established in 1988), it remained the ‎smaller of the two movements.

		Jihad is thus unabashedly offensive in nature, with the eventual goal of achieving Muslim dominion over the entire globe.
		But jihad's most ghastly present reality is in Sudan, where until recently the ruling party bore the slogan "Jihad, Victory and Martyrdom." For two decades, under government auspices, jihadists there have physically attacked non-Muslims, looted their belongings and killed their males.
		Despite jihad's record as a leading source of conflict for 14 centuries, causing untold human suffering, academic and Islamic apologists claim it permits only defensive fighting, or even that it is entirely non-violent.

		Founding Philosophy: The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is a violent offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, a Sunni, Islamist, religious movement that originated in Egypt and seeks broad social, moral, and political reforms based upon Islam.
		The PIJ is one faction within a loosely organized, highly secretive group of Islamic Jihad movements that span the Middle East.
		Inspired by the Shi'a Islamic revolution in Iran, the PIJ blended Palestinian nationalism, Sunni Islamic fundamentalism, and Shi'a revolutionary thought into its ideological agenda, which stressed that Islamic unity could not be achieved until Israel was utterly annihilated and all of Palestine liberated.

		Evidence of this could be seen in all the news footage covering the rioting and was made plain by an Islamic cleric from Syria, who insisted that an apology from the Danes was unacceptable and that only war would remedy the insult.

		Jihad as warfare is a pivotal concern for the Qur’an, the Hadith and the Shari‘ah which we shall explore later in this essay.
		Thus wherever an Islamic community exists which is a concrete example of the Divinely-ordained system of life, it has a God-given right to step forward and take control of the political authority so that it may establish the Divine system on earth, while it leaves the matter of belief to individual conscience.
