Question
This is what ancient time Muslim’s get for ever creating the term Jihaad, or their holy war so to speak. They get a pain full of Christianity from George W Bush! Now he’s the true question, did the Muslim’s create the term Jihaad for holy war as an act of vengeance towards the Catholics for the crusade? Or is it something that was passed down from Allah to his people? Cause if it is an act of vengeance than why did they bomb the two towers and not the Vatican City?
Answer
Your question is not very coherent. Much of what you say is not based on fact. Firstly, Jihad (i.e. to strive in the way of God) does not translate into “holy war.” The word Jihad existed long before the Crusades ever occurred. Hence your assertions have no basis. Surely you are not suggesting that the war in Iraq and Afghanistan is George Bush’s Christianity-inspired war. Even if that is your claim it seems to lack sense as the combination of Afghanistan and Iraq do not represent the entire Muslim world. Besides, are you attributing war, death and destruction to the Christian religion? God has allowed self-defense; that is merely one aspect of Jihad. The actions of those who would ram planes full of innocent people into buildings, with even more innocent people, have nothing to do with Jihad much less Islam. Your own question seems to answer the issue itself that the actions of those people on September 11th were obviously not of a religious nature. Politics and religion are a dangerous mix. Even worse is committing evil in the name of God. I urge you to educate yourself. I hope that you would find it in your heart not to spread anymore hatred and misinformation.
May God guide us all.
I hope I have clarified the issue.
God knows best.
