All four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence agree on the importance of jihad against non - Muslims who refuse to convert to Islam...

Robert Spencer, Part II!


Interview with the TFP in their Crusade magazine March / April 2010 issue.


TFP's Question:

"Nowadays everyone talks about jihad, but few know its precise meaning. What is the correct understanding of the term?


This brief fragment is from Mr. Spencer's somewhat thorough answer:


"All four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence agree on the importance of jihad against non - Muslims who refuse to convert to Islam.

"One jurist declared, It is preferable not to begin hostilities with the enemy before having invited the latter to embrace the the religion of Allah attacks first. They have the alternative of either converting to Islam or paying the poll tax, short of which war will be declared against them.

"Anther jurist, a favorite of Obama bin Laden and other modern - day jihadists, explained that the aim of jihad was that the religion is God's entirely and God's word is uppermost, therefore according to all Muslims, those who stand in the way of this aim must be fought.

"The other schools echo these teachings..."

Good points, professor! :)
