I am confused. I thought it was a religion of peace?

Know thy enemy by his own cursed words.
Like qatilu, Jihad also denotes hostile acts, in the shape of wars, which Muslims, under Allahs command, undertook in the past and are required to undertake even now and in future against the non-Muslims, specifically with the purpose of converting them to Islam. In Jihads, Muslims should not expect to gain any booty, but should it come their way in the aftermath of their striving in the cause of Allah, they should not only accept it gladly, they must also cherish it wholeheartedly, for all rewards and gifts come from Allah. Refusing gifts from Allah is a cardinal sin (cf. Quran; 66:1).
I am sure you'd find this on your own, but just in case. :)
Islam will be doomed, if its followers do not kill the infidels to establish Islamic rule on every land of the world. Jihad is like a prayer to most Muslims; execution of it successfully ensures heaven for them after their death; dying in Jihad makes them martyrs, and martyrdom transports them instantaneously to heaven, and into the arms of most beautiful and virgin houris to live with forever.
All the hijackers of September 11 are martyrs. They are now living in heaven in the company of houris, and Allah. This is what most Muslims aspire for in their lives. Therefore, Jihad would continue to dominate our earth for so long as the exhortation by the Quran to take up arms against the infidels would continue to inspire the Muslims.
Jihad:
...the importance, reward and requirement for the Muslims to perform Jihaad Fi Sabeel Lillah i.e. physical struggle:...the saying and actions of Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) show that Jihaad definitely is to start (offensive) fighting the kuffar to make the Words of Allah the highest and to propagate (dawa) the call of Islam. Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
"I have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that, there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger and they establish the prayer and the zakat. And if they do this, then from me is protected their blood and their wealth except by the right granted by Allah."As for his (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) actions, they are full of actions that show Jihaad is to start the fighting. So when he went out to Badr to take the caravan belonging to the Quraysh, this was going out to fight, this is offensive as Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) initiated the action before the Quraysh. Likewise, when Muhammad (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) invaded Hawazin in the battle of Hunayn, when he (Salalahu Alaihi Wasallam) seiged Taif and the battle of Mutah to fight the Romans and the Battle of Tabuk all of these are evidences to show that Jihaad is to start fighting kuffar (offensive). This should clarify the erroneous view that in origin Jihaad is defensive...
BUMP and Print at work tomorrow.

It doesn't matter whether normal human beings believe this swill.
It suffices that the absolute dregs of humanity believe it, and seal their own fate.
Reason with nonsense written by the absolute ignorant for the absolute ignorant? I don't think so. Suffice to say that every "reward" listed in the comic book satisfies or appeals to the absolute basest physical human appetitites.
Could have been written for every subhuman species on the planets; all the way below the cockroaches.
"We can prevent destruction of our earth only if we are willing to fight for the elimination of those verses of the Quran that exhort Muslims to fight in the cause of Allah. Failure to do so would only exacerbate the sufferings of the non-Muslims. Therefore, let us join hands and work together to get rid of all those verses of the Quran that incite Muslims to launch Jihad against the non-Muslims of the world."
Perhaps I am missing an imortant element in this essay...
but, is this writer not saying certain parts of the qu'ran need to eliminated in order to save the world?
Or is this just double talk on the part of the author?

"Bali bomber: 'Aren't you aware that the model for us all, the Prophet Mohammed and the four rightful caliphs, undertook to murder infidels as one of their primary activities?'"
I re-read it.
Yes (to myself) I was confused.
Sorry.
