JIHAD

First, I want to say that Jihad is a struggle. I'm incredibly glad
that many Muslims consider it a personal striving and not a physical
one against all non-Muslims, but does that mean they are correct? I
don't think so. I think they are the bad Muslims for not wanting to
fight against non-Muslims until all belief is for allah and I say this
because it seems that is what allah thought too. In the Quran, it says:

004.076 YUSUFALI: Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and
those who reject Faith Fight in the cause of Evil: So fight ye against
the friends of Satan: feeble indeed is the cunning of Satan.

004.077 YUSUFALI: Hast thou not turned Thy vision to those who were
told to hold back their hands (from fight) but establish regular
prayers and spend in regular charity? When (at length) the order for
fighting was issued to them, behold! a section of them feared men as -
or even more than - they should have feared Allah: They said: "Our
Lord! Why hast Thou ordered us to fight? Wouldst Thou not Grant us
respite to our (natural) term, near (enough)?" Say: "Short is the
enjoyment of this world: the Hereafter is the best for those who do
right: Never will ye be dealt with unjustly in the very least!

002.216 YUSUFALI: Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it.
But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and
that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye
know not.

Allah is telling Muslims to fight, even though they don't think it's
right to do and don't like it! Muslims had more decency and better
morals than allah, but they will follow him. They are his slaves and
live in fear.

There are many other Quran verses about fighting and Jihad, but I want
to mention 2 consecutive verses that aren't usually the first ones
thought of in this discussion.

047.020 YUSUFALI: Those who believe say, "Why is not a sura sent down
(for us)?" But when a sura of basic or categorical meaning is
revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein, thou wilt see those in
whose hearts is a disease looking at thee with a look of one in swoon
at the approach of death. But more fitting for them-

047.021 YUSUFALI: Were it to obey and say what is just, and when a
matter is resolved on, it were best for them if they were true to Allah.

The matter has been resolved. It's better for Muslims to wage Jihad.
