| | The Islamic Jihad: the Imperative of Holy War |
| | According to the Islamic Jihad, Israel is the spearhead of the imperialist West in the center of the Muslim world; this pernicious factor must therefore be eliminated as the first step toward the return of all Muslims to the faith and the establishment of an Islamic state on all Muslim territory. | | | Hamas and the Islamic Jihad were at odds with respect to the importance and centrality of the Islamic revolution in Iran. | | | The Islamic Jihad recruits young Arabs by means of religious indoctrination, and bases its terror strategy on the willingness of these young people to lay down their lives for what they see as a divine command -- the war against the infidels. |

| | Islamic Glossary Term: Jihad |
| | Jihad should not be confused with Holy War; the latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War. | | | It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an explicit verse in the Qur'an that says:"There is no compulsion in religion" Al-Qur'an: Al-Baqarah (2:256). | | | It is an Arabic word the root of which is Jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life. |

| | The Palestine Islamic Jihad |
| | The Islamic Jihad’s ideology blended Palestinian nationalist ideas with themes drawn from three other sources: the ideology of the Muslim Brethren; patterns of activity of the militant Islamist groups in Egypt; and, uniquely among Sunni movements, the teachings of Ayatollah Khomeini, the Shi`i leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran. | | | While Islamic Jihad preceded Hamas (established in 1988), it remained the smaller of the two movements. | | | While it refused to recognize the Palestinian Authority as a legitimate government and did not participate in the 1996 PA elections, Islamic Jihad did not challenge the PA politically in the same manner as did Hamas. |

| | Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. | | | For this we will work with the Islamic community and work on the premise as if Islam were a religion of peace as they protest, if it is as they say then Muslim-Americans should have no problem endorsing this list and helping to distribute it in their Islamic community. | | | Many passages of the Qur'an and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad are used by jihad warriors today to justify their actions and gain new recruits. |

| | Islamic Jihad |
| | Islamic Jihad, also known as Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Harakat al-Jihad al-Islami al-Filastini, was formed in 1979. | | | It can be concluded that the radicals in the Islamic world are the ones who misunderstand the true meaning of jihad. | | | Al-Qaida also began to work toward a goal similar to that of Islamic Jihad, which was the creation of an Islamic state. |

| | Although Islamic Jihad and Hamas were fierce rivals in the early years, after the signing of the 1993 Oslo Accords both joined the Damascus-based Alliance of Palestinian Forces (APF) and set aside their differences. | | | By the mid-1970s, he had rejected the teachings of the Brotherhood, which held that the destruction of Israel must await an "internal jihad" to reform and unify the Islamic world, and embraced the 1979 revolution in Iran as a model of action. | | | Additionally, the [Islamic] Jihad movement is adopting the [families of the] killed Fatah activists." |

| | An exegesis on 'Jihad in Islam' |
| | Islamic scholar Dr. Abu Zayd Shalabi claimed in his book (page-75), in the ‘battle of Alees’ which took place on the border of Iraq, the great Islamic General Khalid killed 70,000 people. | | | Thus wherever an Islamic community exists which is a concrete example of the Divinely-ordained system of life, it has a God-given right to step forward and take control of the political authority so that it may establish the Divine system on earth, while it leaves the matter of belief to individual conscience. | | | After the death of Prophet Muhammad, there were four most favorite disciples of Prophet who ruled the Islamic kingdom established by the prophet Muhammad, who were known as the most pious caliphs. |

| | Sadat's trip to Jerusalem to meet with Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin in 1977 and his call in 1979 for the separation of religion and politics in Egypt sealed his fate. | | | By this Farag meant the full restoration of the Islamic caliphate, which Ataturk had abolished in 1924. | | | Thus, "there is no doubt that the first battlefield for jihad is the extermination of these infidel leaders and to replace them by a complete Islamic Order" (paragraph 70). |

| | The Palestinian Islamic Jihad |
| | Palestinian religious Islamic fanaticism, whose most prominent representatives are the PIJ and Hamas, is an integral part of the worldwide trend toward a religious Islamic resurgence which has been developing in the Middle East since the early nineteen seventies and one of whose crowning achievements was the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979. | | | The Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979 was an important factor in shaping the revolutionary trend in the form of an organization during 1980-1981. | | | It was at that time that the Gazan branch of the Islamic Jihad appeared, although it had other names, the most well-known of which was the Islamic Vanguard. |

| | What is Jihad - article by Daniel Pipes |
| | The purpose of jihad, in other words, is not directly to spread the Islamic faith but to extend sovereign Muslim power (faith, of course, often follows the flag). | | | Jihad doctrine proves that Islam is morally and ethically corrupt. | | | Jihad in the sense of territorial expansion has always been a central aspect of Muslim life. |
