Jihad is mentioned loads of times in the Quran, it means struggle. Yep that is exactly what it means but for some reason it has been portrayed in the western media as war. Guess it is a catchy word, good marketing.
With regards to religion, the young chap who blew himself up turns out to be drinker, into drugs & local gang culture... so technically that means anyone who drinks is also responsible right? I mean you are like him?
We see it all the time that when something like this happens everyone starts the whole religion debate but forgets to mention that ISIS kill ratio is 95% Muslims.
Yet the news is filled with how much ISIS hate the west... just last month alone on one blast 126 Muslims were killed by ISIS, 68 of that figure was children, though still people want to push the religion card.
This is how you spread hatred and I see it so much, very ill informed people making things up as they go along.
