3.0 out of 5 stars The term Jihad misused one to many times..., August 3, 2005

This review is from: Jesus Vs. Jihad: Exposing the Conflict Between Christ and Islam (Paperback)

I am an ex-Muslim who converted out of Islam 3 years ago because I was compelled by the power of Christ. But anyways growing up my parents would take me to the Mosque where I would pray and recite lines of the Qur'an. The term Jihad is the most misused term in Islam and in this propaganda book Marvin Yakos misuses it. Marvin Yakos only resources is the US media who tries to get our country to hate our Muslim brothers and sisters by defining the term as "holy war" and to spread Islam all over the world.

My fellow Christans take my advice on this... advice from an ex-Muslim. The word Jihad is arabic for "struggle". There's 2 main forms of Jihad there's the inner Jihad and the outter Jihad. The inner Jihad is a Muslims day to day fight against sin. For an example alcohol is a sin in Islam. So lets say that you're an alcoholic who recently converted to Islam. Then your Jihad would be to stop yourself from drinking alcohol. The outter Jihad is when a Muslim country liberates itself. For example the Pallistinians are under occupation from the Israelis so in order to liberate they must fight back BUT when they do they must attack soldiers NOT civilians. So in a sence the Qur'an is corrupted because even Muslims missue the term by thinking they can attack civilians like what the Chechnians did or like what Usama bin Ladden did on 9/11.

Also Marvin Yakos tries to give you that idea that Christianity is banned in Islamic countries. He's wrong. As hard as it is to believe Muslims, Christans and Jews live peacefully together (outside of Israel) within some Islamic countries. I remember when I visited Egypt there were actually Christan Churches built right next to Mosques!

So anyways when reading this book pray to God that he'll help you shed some light on the meaning of other faiths as well as yours for through God all is possible.

Dr. Marvin Yakos has, once again, blown our minds in the way of religion, conflicts, and war. Especially after the events of Sept. 11, this book has brought many views up from the depths of the abyss to the view of the public. Another mindfull projection of what will come and how to prevent tragedies in the future through religion, Dr. Marvin Yakos is a genious, a mindfull and creative author who envisions all that is perfection.
