Islamist ‘Scholars’ Deny JIHAD means WAR! However…
So here’s that old fave debate opening up again – does jihad mean war or not?

Certainly Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban and countless other filthy savages who style themselves mujahidin are confident it does.
=====================
=====================
Right here in Indonesia, we see fanatics like the FUI, photo above, whose idea of jihad does not sound terribly peaceful to me!
And the PKS party, which is part of President SBY’s coaliition, has a leader, Anis Matta, who glorifies Osama in verse. hardly an example of endorsing peaceful struggle. http://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/10/02/to-hell-with-freedom-jakarta-fanatics-rant-at-us/
I sure as heck never heard anyone from the MUI rush, or even dawdle, to condemn that malignant man’s ode to evil.

Oya, back to the FUI for a mo. Please remember that the king-pin of the FUI is also a leading light in the MUI, the infamously blood-thirsty Al Khathath. http://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/incandescent-islamist-holds-forth-in-scholars-hq/
However, one luminary of the MUI has taken a different line! He was addressing a crowd of the faithful the other day.
Deputy secretary general of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Amirsyah Tambunan…offered enlightenment about jihad, which has been wrongly interpreted by some people, even lapsed into heresy….
================

“Muslims should be based on the Qur’an and Hadith for every action, including jihad,” said Amirsyah Tambunan. According to him, jihad is not at all synonymous with war. Using the meaning of war is done to pit Muslims against each other. http://www.tribunnews.com/regional/2013/08/08/wasekjen-mui-jihad-tidak-bersinonim-dengan-perang
Well, if that’s enlightening, I’ll try an Ever-Ready battery flashlight next time!
If Amirsyah is saying that jihad should be interpreted as peaceful ideological struggle, okay, i can follow his meaning.
But then he goes on to garble the message. Is he suggesting that most of us who know that vicious terrorists describe their atrocities as jihad are voicing our perceptions to incite intra-Muslim in-fighting?
- That’s what it sounds like to me, another example of the Islamist Whine, how it’s always about ‘Islamophobia,’ infidels deliberately or stupidly misconstruing Islamic theology.
Yes, there are examples, quite close to home, of Muslim in-fighting, but the most up-to-date of those, the merciless persecution of the Shia minority in Sampang, East Java, was caused, at least in part, by imbecilic Sunni accusations of ‘heresy!’
And whence did the loudest ‘heresy’ hate-preaching emanate? Among others, again, from that nasty old creature Buchori in Surabaya.
Who’s he?

Why, none other than a leading figure in the MUI! http://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2012/10/30/scholars-escalate-java-jihad-another-creed-outlawed/
