Here are mainpoints
Christianity is a faith. Its a religion and can be personal. We are all withness to that.
Islam is not a faith. Islam by its definition is NOT a faith.
Islam is socio-political, socio-religious, economical, educational, juristric, legislative, militaristic system, cloaked in religious terminology.
And until you actually know a great deal about Islam, this will not be apperant to you
Second, coming from the east, I promise you, i have NEVER heard Jihad to be an inner struggle. Never ever. I was never thought jihad was an inner struggle, and the only time I actually came across that idea was when I moved to west (England) - so from a (tiny bit more) reliable source, Jihad is a holy War.
Mujahedeen are warriors and Shahids are the suicide bombers (Shahid literal translation means martyr, so that implies that)
The city I was born in, was called (thought not officially renamed)long time ago Dar Ul Jihad
Which means The House of War - not the ''politically correct house of inner struggle'' - it means The House of War.
