The Roots of Islamic Terrorism

Here’s someone writing in IHT who ought to read a book – or write one. There are more quotes like this here and here is the full article.

“… the oft-quoted remark that Islam is a religion of peace is false. It is historically illiterate to claim that war is foreign to Islam and it is theologically uninformed to argue that jihad is merely a personal inner struggle with no external military correlate.”

I'm confident they have their points too, but we also need to go to the Bible and highlight all sections that call for war and death. Having said that, the authors are litterate and I'm sure we'll hear more from them.
