There are over 300 verses of Jihad in Bukhari's compendium on the life, sayings, sounds, toiletry, warring, lust and accumulation of booty, by the non-prophet Muhammad. In fact just 288 describe in Bukhari's own words 'Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)' with Jihad given an extra a in the Arabic. Jihaad was and is indeed a pillar of Islam – the 6th foundation of being a good Moslem. Without Jihaad there would not be a cult named Submission. Muhammad's 'ministry' would never have developed, and if the Meccans had possessed more intelligence, Muhammad would have been killed; before he fled Mecca to Medina, tipped off by his wealthy and important uncle. The Meccans were too lenient. Many of them would pay with their own lives and the lives of their families.
Jihad is the best deed for Moslems:
Narrated Abdullah bin Masud: I asked Allah's Apostle, "O Allah's Apostle! What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, "To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause." I did not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better than the world and whatever is in it."
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: Allah's Apostle said, "Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords."
Fight for Allah [Muhammad]:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! Whoever is wounded in Allah's Cause....and Allah knows well who gets wounded in His Cause....will come on the Day of Resurrection with his wound having the color of blood but the scent of musk."
Narrated Abu Musa: A man came to the Prophet and asked, "A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for showing off; which of them fights in Allah's Cause?" The Prophet said, "He who fights that Allah's Word (i.e. Islam) should be superior, fights in Allah's Cause."
Moslem warriors named Ghazi or Mujahiddin, will go to the Moslem heaven:
Narrated Abu Huraira: A man came to Allah's Apostle and said, "Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihad (in reward)." He replied, "I do not find such a deed." Then he added, "Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battle-field, enter your mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?" The man said, "But who can do that?" Abu- Huraira added, "The Mujahid (i.e. Muslim fighter) is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders bout (for grazing) tied in a long rope."
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."
If you possess an advanced degree from a Western university, you will studiously ignore Jihad, the call to kill Unbelievers and the demand to martyr yourself for the Allah-Muhammad complex. For the 'educated' Westerner Jihad means 'spiritual struggle', killing means love, and war is peace. Arbeit macht freiheid.
