Defying Jihad
If you truly love Allah, you will die for him.Your death will mean much reward for you and your family in heaven.Only death will prove your love.It was the final test. A chance to win not only the love of Allah, but the love of her father-something she had never been able to earn. Esther took a deep breath and raised her hand in the air. At the age of eighteen, she had just volunteered to become a suicide bomber.Defying Jihad is the true story of a girl growing up under radical Islamic rule, trained to believe her ultimate purpose was to serve Allah by dying as a jihadist. But two nights before she was to leave forever, she had a dream . . . one that would change the course of her destiny.Against all odds, Esther became a follower of Jesus-even though leaving Islam meant her death sentence. But rather than kill her immediately, Esther's furious father challenged her to a series of public debates with Muslim scholars: the Bible versus the Quran. If Esther won, she might yet survive. But if the Muslim clerics won, Esther must renounce her Christian faith. For an entire month-if she lived that long-Esther would be brought before the mob daily to defend her newfound faith. Would God give her the words to argue against Muslim leaders, former friends, and even her own family?Defying Jihad is an amazing story of a woman prepared to surrender all for Jesus-and whose life transformed from terror to overwhelming love.

What is Jihad at-Talab and Jihad ad-Daf?
Jihad at-Talab refers to the offensive or aggressive form of jihad, which involves actively seeking out and fighting against perceived enemies of Islam. This can include military action and warfare in order to expand the territory and influence of Islam. On the other hand, Jihad ad-Daf refers to the defensive form of jihad, which involves fighting to protect and defend the Muslim community from external threats or aggression. This can include military action in response to attacks or invasions against Muslim lands. Both forms of jihad are considered important concepts in Islamic theology and are often invoked in discussions about the use of force in the name of Islam.

Is jihad a holy war?
Jihad is often misunderstood as a holy war, but in Islamic teachings, it refers to the struggle or striving in the way of God. This can include personal spiritual growth, acts of charity, and standing up for justice. While there are instances where jihad may involve armed conflict in self-defense or to protect the oppressed, it is not synonymous with the concept of a holy war. The term "holy war" is not found in the Quran, and the concept of jihad encompasses a much broader range of actions and intentions.

What is the inner struggle of Jihad?
The inner struggle of Jihad, also known as the Greater Jihad, refers to the personal and spiritual struggle that individuals face in striving to live a righteous life according to Islamic teachings. This inner struggle involves overcoming one's own weaknesses, temptations, and negative impulses in order to cultivate qualities such as patience, humility, and self-discipline. It is a continuous process of self-improvement and self-purification that requires introspection, self-awareness, and a deep commitment to one's faith. Ultimately, the goal of the inner struggle of Jihad is to achieve spiritual growth, inner peace, and a closer connection to Allah.

Jihad: A Short History
Never before has such a serious subject been written about with such elegance, wit and humour. Jihad: A Short History is entertaining popular history in strict chronological order enlivened throughout with wordplay, comedy, graphic detail and vivid anecdotes on leading figures.It describes Islam's 1,000-year assault on the rest of humanity, leading up to the concluding chapter where military jihad has been abandoned in favour of hijra, migration. It synthesises in a single readable comprehensive volume the records of the contemporary chroniclers and the works of later historians, which mostly treat some tiny aspect of this enormous subject.None of them led the author to question the main thrust of his narrative. An understanding of the constant invasions of Christian Europe by the forces of Islam over a thousand years is vital to properly make sense of the world in which we now live. The centrepiece of Jihad: A Short History, both figuratively and literally, is the defining 1453 siege and fall of Constantinople, which is described in detail and at length in order to convey the horror of such assaults. Few westerners know of the catastrophic Battle of Mohacs, one of the greatest military encounters in the history of central Europe; or of the Battle of Didgori, in which a staggering 200,000 men perished in a single day of fighting; and that the Muslims twice reached Vienna and in 1543 besieged and plundered Nice. Jihad: A Short History concisely tells of these forgotten events, and of many more epic confrontations.

The Language of Violent Jihad
How do violent jihadists use language to try to persuade people to carry out violent acts?This book analyses over two million words of texts produced by violent jihadists to identify and examine the linguistic strategies employed.Taking a mixed methods approach, the authors combine quantitative methods from corpus linguistics, which allows the identification of frequent words and phrases, alongside close reading of texts via discourse analysis.The analysis compares language use across three sets of texts: those which advocate violence, those which take a hostile but non-violent standpoint, and those which take a moderate perspective, identifying the different uses of language associated with different stages of radicalization.The book also discusses how strategies including use of Arabic, romanisation, formal English, quotation, metaphor, dehumanisation and collectivisation are used to create in- and out-groups and justify violence.

Veiled Threats : Women and Global Jihad
Veiled Threats challenges the idea that women in violent terrorist groups lack agency.Too often, these women are assumed to be controlled by men: their fathers, their husbands, or some other male relative.Mia Bloom contests this narrow understanding. Although extremist groups often control different aspects of women's lives, including their religious obligations or dress, jihadi women have asserted themselves in myriad ways.Bloom interrogates the prevailing perceptions about women's involvement in violent extremism exclusively as victims: manipulated, drugged, or coerced.Following her pioneering work on women in Bombshell, Bloom lifts the veil of the secret world of women in jihadi groups to provide a nuanced and complex explanation of their motivations and challenge misperceptions about women's agency.Veiled Threats explores the range of roles of the women involved in jihad—not only across secular and religious groups but within affiliated religious groups—and examines how these extremist groups have used rape as a weapon of war.Bloom explains how women are used and abused, deployed and destroyed, and the many ways in which their roles in terrorism have evolved over the past three decades.

Is there something like Jihad in Christianity?
In Christianity, the concept of "Jihad" does not exist in the same way as it does in Islam. While there are instances of religious warfare and violence in Christian history, the teachings of Jesus Christ emphasize love, forgiveness, and non-violence. The closest concept to Jihad in Christianity may be the idea of spiritual warfare, which refers to the struggle against sin and evil in one's own life, rather than a physical battle against non-believers. Overall, the emphasis in Christianity is on peaceful coexistence and spreading the message of love and salvation rather than engaging in holy war.

What is the Jihad, the holy war?
The term "Jihad" translates to "struggle" or "striving" in Arabic, and it can refer to the internal struggle to be a better person or the external struggle to defend Islam. In the context of a holy war, Jihad is often used to describe the duty of Muslims to defend their faith and community. However, it is important to note that the concept of Jihad as a holy war is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, as it is meant to be a defensive action and not an aggressive one. The majority of Muslims believe that Jihad should be conducted in a just and ethical manner, and that it does not condone violence against innocent people.
