Thread Name: BS: Letter To A Young Jihadi
Subject: RE: BS: Letter To A Young Jihadi
It makes the common error that the jihad is about religion. Islam is only the framework (a successful one so far in motivating people) that opposition to western exploitation moulds itself around. In the 50s and 60s, it was communism, in the 70s maoism. Think of a suicide bomber as one who "lays down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).
