Yes, but jihad to what end? If Qaddafi means jihad in order to subjugate non-Muslims and women under the hegemony of Islamic law, then he ought to be opposed just as energetically, if not more so, than if he had endorsed terrorist acts. The focus in the West has been entirely on the means -- terrorism -- and not to the slightest degree on the purpose of that terrorism. And that has been to our great detriment. "Gaddafi: We Reject Terrorism, We Never Abandon Jihad," from the Tripoli Post, February 28:
Speaking on Thursday on the holy occasion of the birth of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), the Leader of the Revolution condemned continuous attempts to equate Islam with terrorism saying that Jihad or armed struggle is a duty and part of the Muslim faith.
Will CAIR issue a statement condemning Qaddafi's Misunderstanding of Islam? Don't hold your breath.
He demanded that Muslims declare Jihad against Switzerland and called on the Palestinians to continue their struggle to liberate their occupied homeland.
Leader Gaddafi called on a huge gathering of Muslims to start defending Islam and Muslims that have been subjected to attack everywhere.
The huge crowed which gathered in Benghazi, over 1000 kms east of Tripoli, included delegations who came from more than 90 countries including presidents, prime ministers, kings and VIPs from all over the Islamic world.
Gaddafi said while we reject terrorism of any kind such as that of Al Qaeda, we are entitled to armed struggle to defend ourselves, homes and holy places.
"They want to prevent Muslims from undertaking Jihad which means 'struggle' by calling it 'terrrorism'," Gaddafi said.
By doing so, they aim at terrorizing us so we would not be able to defend ourselves, Gaddafi stressed.
"They destroy mosques in Switzerland, they destroy Al-Aqsa mosque, and they commit aggression against our sanctities and attack our homes as we keep silent. When we react they call our actions terrorism.
"We will not abandon Jihad because it is Islamic duty," he said. "It is the defense of oneself, defense of religion, defense of the Prophet, defense of the Qura'an ... defense of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and defense of our independence."
"Any Muslim anywhere in the world buys Swiss goods is an apostate. The one who does so is against Islam, against Prophet Mohammad, against Allah and against Qura'an."
"The masses of Muslims must go to all airports in the Islamic world and prevent any Swiss plane landing, to all harbors and prevent any Swiss ships docking, inspect all shops and markets to stop any Swiss goods being sold," Gaddafi said.
Those who made fun of the Prophet and destroying Al-Aqsa mosque should not be dealt with in anyway and should not be hugged. "Those who do so are not related to Islam."
"We reject terrorism and we do not abandon Jihad"
"It must be clear that the holy Palestinian struggle is Jihad and it is not terrorism," Gaddafi stressed. In Palestine, people are fighting to liberate their country from Zionist occupation, they fight to liberate prisoners from Zionist prisons, they fight to go back to their villages that were occupied in 1948 and 1967, they fight for the return and to its farm that was occupied. All this is holy struggle, it the holiest of struggles," Gaddafi said.
PS: One day soon we will destroy that Al-Aqsa 'mosque' and place the Third Temple where it belongs..
