>Jihad is an Arabic word meaning ‘struggle’ or ‘effort’. In religious teaching, it denotes any struggle against the lower, selfish tendencies of the ego. One dimension of this may be to struggle against one’s own selfishness and cowardice in order to defend one’s people.

>Under some circumstances, Muslim scholars will allow oppressed peoples to rebel against their oppressors. They might, therefore, classify the American War of Independence as a form of jihad, broadly understood. When Bosnia was faced with ethnic cleansing in 1992, the Muslim authorities there authorized the use of force to defend the country’s Muslim minority. The alternative would have been mass murder and mass rape, and therefore jihad was lawful. Furthermore, some Muslim scholars will permit a non-defensive ‘idealist’ war to establish justice and freedom in a neighboring country. This is analogous, perhaps, to the decision of the United Kingdom to declare war on Germany on September 3, 1939, in response to the German invasion of Poland. There are more recent analogies as well, including very recent instances in which Western powers have used force to overthrow tyrants such as Saddam Hussein.

How can one man be such an imbecile? Premodern sources are clearly state jihad is fighting to establish the religion of Islam. Ibn Taymiyyah even says Jews left jihad when they just fought for the sake of fighting oppression rather than establishing Sharia. He clearly has never written any premodern work on this subject. He just parrots. You can also see this in his criticism of Salafism, he says they're considered heretical for holding to tashbeeh when in fact Salafis and Wahhabism reject tashbeeh as heresy and it is Ibn Arabi (whom Murad says is "the greatest Shaykh") who says those who reject tashbeeh are heretics, tashbeeh is a fundamental doctrine of sufism, that's a major difference between it and Wahhabism. He also says Ibn Taymiyyah is a fideist who believes you can just use rulings through faith and don't need learning when Ibn Taymiyyah says reason is absolutely vital to religion and critizes Sufis for thinking mystical insight can be an alternative to learning and reason. Murad also says Muslims who harm kuffar who don't pay jizya get capital punishment which is a complete falsehood. Is he just a shill?
