Jihad

[Dakine 26]

I'm sorry if I offend anyone as I am not very acknowledgeable when it comes to religion.

Do muslims believe in the same god as christians?

What exactly is jihad?

Do all muslims support it?

Do all male muslims think they will get 72 virgins when they die or commit suicide. What will the women suicide bombers get?

Is suicide condoned by the religion?

Who/what is Hamas?

If someone has a link I can learn about the religion I'd appreciate it.

Jihad is struggle against evil. Whether it be in your own head (resisting the temptation to cheat on your wife) or it be external (resisting a government that oppresses you).

google it, and not from some "anti-muslim,jesus saves all" site.

When you have questions about a religion, I suggest you study for yourself, rather than taking words from people on a immgration board.

just my two cents

JIHAD - Centuries-old Arabic term translated literally as "holy war" or "endeavor." In recent years, Muslim fighters, especially in the Arab-Israeli conflict, have used the term almost solely to mean "holy war," often waged through terrorist attacks on civilians. PLO chairman Yasir Arafat caused a stir when he called for a "jihad to liberate Jerusalem," even after renouncing the use of violence against Israel. Arafat later said he was using the term to refer to a peaceful religious campaign for Israel's capital.

HAMAS - Arabic acronym for the Islamic Resistance Movement, a fundamentalist group that rejects all discussion of peace with Israel, including the current Israeli-PLO negotiations. Responsible for many terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians and Palestinian so-called "collaborators" with Israel, Hamas states in its covenant that "[t]he Day of Judgement will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees." Recent evidence has indicated that Hamas carries out substantial fundraising and organizational work in the United States. On December 28, 2002, Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin is quoted in Al-Ayyam as saying, "The jihad and suicide bombings will continue - the Zionist entity will reach its end in the first quarter of the current century. It is therefore up to you [Muslim holy fighters] to be patient - the Hamas takes upon itself the liberation of all Palestinian land from the sea to the river in the Rafah [in the south] and until Rosh Hanikra [in the north]."

I find it strange the OP embeds a question about Hamas with questions about the Islam.

It's kind of like asking about Jesus and asking about the Klan at the same time.

It creates the illusion of a relationship where there really isn't one.

pass it over

btw, would this qualify as a mena topic?

Hamas was created as an Islamic counterforce to the secular Fatah faction, so yes, there is a relationship.
