  Jehad and Paradise (Part 3)
The Jehad that disgraces the dignity of God and acts as the most heinous tool of destruction against innocent and the helpless, cannot be a holy principle.
Jehad uses all these methods to secure personal supremacy of Muhammad because it legitimizes violence by inspiring belief in the myth of paradise and encourages deception to win battles.
According to the purifying merits of Jehad, Yazid was a Mujahid (holy soldier of Islam) dedicated to establishing its splendor, superiority and supremacy through the process of pillage, plunder and perdition.

 Jehad and Paradise (Part 1)
Since Jehad is the sure means of access to paradise, the abode of choicest carnal-delights-after-death, sex and violence combine to form the basic approach of Islam to coax man into a web of salvation.
The Prophet said: "A martyr (in Jehad) is dressed in radiant robes of faith: he is married to houries and is allowed by Allah to intercede for seventy men (i.e.

 Sword of Truth Archives -- Jehad   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
A close examination of the doctrine of Jehad reveals that it is also a gross insult to the concept of God because it depicts Him as a blood-thirsty Autocrat, who decrees murder, rape and pillage of infidels on a permanent basis for the sheer 'crime' of not believing in Him.
Jehad, in fact is a declaration of war against the Indian subcontinent by her own people.
Jehad is all about massacre, mutilation and misery, and not about any moral, social or humanitarian service as the Muslim divines pretend.

 Sword of Truth Archives -- Jehad and Civilization - Part 1 (The Battle of Badr)
'Jehad' is an Arabic word, which literally means 'endeavor', but as an Islamic doctrine, it implies fighting in the way of Allah (the Arabic God) to establish His supremacy over unbelievers until they relinquish their faith to become Muslims or acknowledge their subordination by paying a humiliation-tax called JAZIYA.
The successful journey of these caravans was a matter of special delight for the shareholders, but whenever, it succumbed to the attack of the plundering mafia, it created highly heart-rending scenes of women, beating their breasts, pulling hair and singing mournful songs to express their loss, that might also include the death of some defenders.
Enunciation of the doctrine of Jehad struck terror into the hearts of the Meccan traders, who were alarmed about their trade with the north because its route passed between Medina and the sea coast.

 The Hindu : Is Jehad sustainable against India?
"JEHAD" HAS been a subject under discussion both among Muslims and non-Muslims for a long time, and is under sharp focus since the inhuman act of insanity perpetrated by the terrorist attacks in the U.S. on September 11, 2001.
Jehad can broadly be divided into three major segments: (1) Against the enemies of Allah (and His religion, Islam) (2) against Satan (3) against the evil inclinations of one's inner self (Nafs-e-ammarah).
The scope for Jehad is wide, and can be exercised physically, through the use of wealth, the pen, speech, and even by migration.

 Conncept of ‘Jehad’ in Islam
They have, therefore, tried all sorts of means to eliminate the spirit of Jehad from amongst the Muslims, as it was this spirit that reduced their designs to dust.
Through malicious propaganda campaigns, distortion on the true concept of Jehad and labeling of Muslims as barbarous killers and usurpers, they have depicted a horribly ugly picture of Islam in the eyes of the world.
The significance of Jehad must, therefore, be elucidates in the light of the Holy Quran.

However, what the young militants don’t know is that during this period they are closely watched and assessed for their commitment to the cause of jehad.
Everyone agrees that jehad can’t be carried on without the support of the isi.
But then, as long as the jehad factory in Pakistan-held Kashmir continues to have fresh recruits, and churns out hardened militants willing to risk their lives for that intangible and inexplicable dream of martyrdom, peace in the Valley will remain elusive.

 Surya Kumari Upadhyayula - Articles - Jettison Jehad
US attitudes then were naive and in their ideological zeal to defeat the Soviet Union, they did not look too closely at Pakistan's motivations in joining its crusade or, indeed, the consequences of the jehad it spawned.
It would be safe to say that despite playing a role in encouraging the creation of the Taliban, the US today would like to undo many of the things it did in the heat of the moment in the past.
Neither can a country that says it is eager to combat terrorism, and yet allows its soil to be used for recruiting, funding and arming people who target non-combatant civilians, in the name of a freedom movement or a religious cause.

 The Hindu : The intellectual basis of jehad
Qutb's formulations on jehad as a legitimate enterprise and how those who wished to engage in it should prepare themselves were only a part of his overall exegesis on the spiritual, moral, social and political imperatives of Islam.
Qutb declared that jehad should not be undertaken until the fighters had achieved inner purity but should then be pursued, if necessary, not for defence only but to destroy all worship of false gods and remove all the obstacles which prevented men from accepting Islam.
Moreover, the members of the Egyptian Al Jehad, who are now with Al Qaeda after the setting up of the Islamic Front Against Crusaders and Jews, are believed to be adherents of Qutb's world- view.

 Indiainfo.com -> News -> India -> Pakistan should realize cost of `Jehad’ outweighs benefits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The comments came at a time when Pakistan's military ruler, General Pervez Musharraf, was justifying killings in Jammu and Kashmir, undertaken by terrorists armed, trained, funded and logistically supported by ISI as a "Jehad" (Islamic holy war).
The worst instance of killings of innocent civilians took place on August 1-2 when pilgrims and migrant workers were ruthlessly gunned down, even as people in the valley were praying that peace would return in the wake of the cease-fire proposed by the Hizbul Mujahideen.
General Musharraf's endorsement of so called "jehad" by Pakistan-based terrorist groups is in clear violation of the provisions of Article I (ii) of the Shimla Agreement that states that both governments (India and Pakistan) would seek to "prevent the organization, assistance or encouragement of any acts detrimental to peaceful and harmonious relations".

 The Jehad Lives On
The pattern of treatment being meted out to these leading lights of jehad by the Musharraf-led administration shows that they are being kept on the leash, ostensibly to wage a controlled jehad in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K).
After the 9-11 terror attacks, the four jehadi leaders were placed under house arrests in their respective home towns in Punjab, since they were becoming increasingly vocal in their condemnation of General Musharraf's policy of 'slavery to the Americans'.
That is why most of the smaller groups, which had been irritants for the ISI, have been merged to reduce the number of their representation in the Jehad Council from thirteen to five.

 The Hindu : Jehad council flays moderate leaders
The United Jehad Council (UJC), a conglomerate of Pakistan-based militant groups fighting in Kashmir, has taken a strong exception to the recent meeting of moderate Kashmiri leaders from India and Pakistan at Sharjah and said `jehad' was the only option to `liberate' Kashmir.
The UJC, which met today at Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), under the chairmanship of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen chief, Syed Salahuddin, was of the view that the people of Kashmir were forced to take recourse to `jehad' as a reaction to the "oppressive" policies of the Indian Government.
A resolution adopted by the UJC said "target oriented attacks" would continue in Kashmir to further the cause of `jehad'.

The primary sector in itself is operated in a purely subsistence form, leaving a gaping hole for poverty.

 The Hindu : Votaries of `jehad' warn Musharraf Govt.
Despite the professed commitment of the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, to stop anti-India activities, a few groups, particularly from Muzaffarabad, continue to articulate the belief that `jehad' (holy war) is the only way to ``liberate'' Kashmir.
This was evident at a school function organised in the capital of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir by the Jamaat-ud-Dawa, headed by the former chief of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba, Hafeez Muhammad Saeed.
Akbar said that no power could stop the "freedom struggle" in Kashmir and that `jehad' would continue till the ``total departure'' of the Indian forces from Kashmir.

Many of the groups involved in the hides-for-money campaign are nongovernmental organizations and Islamic charities and at least two of them - the Al-Akhtar Trust and the Al-Rashid Trust - were recently designated terrorist groups by the US.
Just as Pakistan is unable to act against feudal lords and tribal chief, it can do little against the hide collectors, says Edhi.
