Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism, and Slavery

Since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S. by Islamic terrorists in the name of Jihad, there has been much confusion and controversy about true nature of Islam, particularly its doctrine of Jihad. Author M. A. Khan, an ex-Muslim, shows in this book that Jihad is the central doctrine in Islam and it primarily calls for forced conversion, imperialism and slavery as per commands of the Islamic God, Allah. In this groundbreaking book, Khan demonstrates that Prophet Muhammad meticulously followed these misguided principles and established an ideal template of Islamic Jihad for the future generation of Muslims to pursue, and that Muslims have been perpetuating the same ever since. Apart from the true nature of Islam, particularly its doctrine of Jihad, and what it means to the modern world, this book will also enlighten the reader about: * The core tenets of Islam and its history * The propagation of Islam by force and other coercive means * Islamic propaganda * Arab-Islamic imperialism * Islamic slavery and slave-trade * And much more! In Islam, the commands of Allah are perpetual in nature, so are the actions of Prophet Muhammad. Jihadi violence has been the way to subdue and conquer the infidels, to convert them and to expand Islamic rule since Islam's birth fourteen centuries ago. And all indications suggest that it won't change anytime soon. Find out why in "Islamic Jihad". ** Table of Contents:- Chapter 1: Jihad: The Controversies ‘…One Must Go on Jihad at Least Once a Year… One May Use a Catapult Against Them When They Are in a Fortress, Even if Among Them Are Women and Children.
