I'd say also that is very dangerous mixing History (crusades of middle age and mujahidin nowadays) and making parallelism, it's dangerous only because there're some people using this concepts as an excuse to continue attacking arab countries and islam. ... Happy A'Id for all the muslims... Kollo sana wentuh tayibin. Sa'id 'Aid!!! What Ahmad says is true and it’s neccesary to be spread so that people know the difference between the real ‘jihad’ and the violent jihad.

I’d say also that is very dangerous mixing History (crusades of middle age and mujahidin nowadays) and making parallelism, it’s dangerous only because there’re some people using this concepts as an excuse to continue attacking arab countries and islam.

Happy A’Id for all the muslims… Kollo sana wentuh tayibin. Sa’id ‘Aid!!!

However, while the word "crusade" seems to have had its roots in the infamous military campaigns of the middle ages, before it was generalised, the Arabic word "jihad" has the opposite history. "Jihad" was a general term referring to personal/community strife for betterment, and later gained the specific meaning of holy war against the nations' enemies, which definition - according to the time this usage came into existence - were people of other non-muslim nations.
