Call to recognize jihad as crime against humanity

[Chas]

Muslims invented alcohol? Have you ever heard of the concept of fact checking or do you just repeat the drivel you're fed?

And how about some citations.

Yah, alcohol goes back to the Stone Age. Five out of six ain't bad, though.

Umm, no. Not the camera, not the guitar; coffee? Ethiopia. Attributing any of theses things to Muslims is inconsequential. They have nothing to do with Islam. It's a big 'so what?'.

Was there a contest for most counter-productive idea to deal with Islamic extemism, ever? A jihad is a righteous struggle, by definition. It can be an inner struggle (the greater jihad) or an outer struggle against oppression (the lesser jihad). We shouldn't be dignifying terrorists and conquerors who call themselves jihadis by agreeing with them that they deserve the title. It's like calling the Crips 'heroes of the people'.

'Irhab' is the Arabic word for terrorism, 'irhabis' are terrorists, and they are already outliawed in all civilized countries. If we're going to use the Arabic terms for things, let's use the correct ones: ISIL is not a band of jihadis, but a band of irhabis. They WANT us to call them jihadis. We've been at this long enough that we ought to know better by now.

Or we could just call them terrorists and murderers. Pretty simple.
