There wasn't a Jewish state then. They controlled all of their own lands. There is a book I have, printed in 1918, that tells of how they declared Jihad and then tried to kill every Christian and Jew from modern day Pakistan to Syria. One account in my book tells of mass beheadings where the Euphraites river ran red with blood and headless bodies of the non-believers where seen by the thousands in the river. Only women and girls that converted where saved and taken as wives. All of the men and boys were slaughtered. Once the dust cleared at the end of WW1, we had conquered these barbarians and things settled down for awhile. Why would a religion of peace do this?

This is the name and author. The story I told you about is in the first 100 pages. I don't have it here with me or I'd give you the exact page numbers.

If it makes any difference, the book also tells of a song the German Army used to sing that talked about drinking the blood of their dead enemies. It's not just a book about muslims, it was about WW1.

Yes the physical definition of Jihad is the struggle, but it also is the term for the struggle against the infidel, us, or the Holy War, a war being waged today against all of us. No one has answered the question though. They had no reasons to combat us as I see it back then and if you cite the crusades you are ignorant. Who holds a grudge for nearly 1000 years? They might have like two good points to validate their cause against us now, but does that justify the killing of over 1 million people worldwide since 1996 by extremists?
