You clearly dont know what Jihad is. Its acutal translation is something to the effect of 'effort'. This can mean effort in anything from studies to sports. In the context of war, it is putting all your effort toward fighting for the will of God. All of the monotheistic religions discuss fighting for the will of God, its not unique to Islam.

That was unnecessary to quote all of those examples.
I did not say that Christianity was/is a religion of peace - I sugested that Islam is not. Proving one of these does not automatically disprove the other.
However, the fact is thus: today Christians do not detonate themselves and decapitate "infidels" to get into heaven. My point was that Christians have changed in these 700 years, while many muslims still go by the "old ways" of jihad and the ignorant, utterly fvcking stupid idea of killing infidels.
Yeah, they dont blow themselves up, but they do sometimes kill or commit violence. Abortion clinics and stuff like that? The people in Palestine dont really have any other way of fighting for their beliefs than to sneak in and blow themselves up. Its wrong that they are killing innocent civilians, but they cant get to the military bases.
