If the Q'uran does have passages such as this, what is the relevance of this for this topic?

Because Opi is saying there is a double standard.. but there isn't. She's comparing apples and oranges. There is a Jihad against non-Muslims as urged by the Islamic holy book.

There is a double standard but it works both ways. On one end, Islam has been given a negative image to the point where "terrorism" is synonymous with "Islam" these days. Therefore, other terrorist acts aren't viewed in the same light. Even an attempted hijacking by an Islamic person would've been perceived as a big deal in light of world events. The same attempt by a nonMuslim should also be a big deal because anything can be a precursor of things to come---which is what we learned with the govt. coverups and events preceeding 9/11. If those feisty Christians act out again, maybe it will be taken more seriously.

I won't get into the other side of the double standard because it has absolutely nothing to do with this topic.

A Jihad is really a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; : a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline
: a crusade for a principle or belief. So, it seems that holy war is interpreted by the extremist members of the faith differently than the Q'uran urges it. Similar to how some Christian extremists interpret "Christian soldiers" and other "battle" and "spiritual warfare" references to be something that it is not.

YOU are the one comparing apples to oranges here - a double standard for reporting can exist outside of comparable events. You do not need a "Christian WTC attack" to have a double standard. Regardless of your other points, until you can get past your own bias to see this, nothing you write will make sense.

No it does not. Please stop slandering a Holy Book that you have never read.
