Obama On Jihad!!

nice insight and thanks for sharing Ms.Ravali.

Now, In India, there is also important that Hindus should take stand against of anti-hindu activities. Obama is speaking about jihaad but what had Americans done with Iraq for America's wellfare
and they are still funding pakistan just to keep control on Muslim countries but now when china is capturing there place(Pakistan). they are running towards India because they want to show to pakistan, "if you will work with china then we will work with India"....this is their new Policy

OBAMA HAS HIS LIMITATIONS BEING A POLITICIAN HE HAS TO TALK IN THE MANNER HE DESCRIBED JIHAD.

Obama did not address Jihad!!!!!!!!!! 

Nice one it is. Non-violence is what Gandhiji practiced to achieve the goal. But, in today's world, everything goes against this, in the name of Jihad. A religious duty designed for uplift of, that particular group, is posing destructive problems in the disguise of religion. Let that Jihad be , truly, a reflection of tolerance, non-violence & teaching co-existence for prosperity. Not the one, ruling a way for battlefield among religious thoughts.

Ravali good one. I have actually seen the live coverage at the time of speech. See for politicians it is not easy to speak straight on a foreign country on a touchy subject like jihad hence look at the other meaning and speak about them.

Obama has not come out clearly on the word Jihad and the violence/suffering it has caused all over the world or likely cause more violence/suffering in future.  One cannot expect him to be explicit given his compulsions as President who has to sail with muslim countries like saudi arabia and so on.

There are two forms of Jihad. The Inner Jihad which is of Higher Nature and the Outer Jihad which is of Lower Nature. Inner Jihad is reforming oneself and becoming pure from within. It is more Spiritual in nature. The one practicing Inner Jihad would not harm others.  

The outer Jihad is directed at the world, especially when there is a PERCEPTION of threat to the religion. It is these persons who cause all the problems in the world. People with half-baked knowledge of the religion team up at the beck and call of self styled, power crazy and selfish religious leaders / mullahs and cause all the turmoil.

I think Obama is palying and don't specify his views on the Jihad. It is the diplomatic vision every politicians do in their life as administrators. They lost their chances of initiating the right path and stand for the social reform.Now it is the time for us to look into something esle and work for the better understanding of the every religon and Islam, whic promotes Jihad has to be criticised. But we shouldn't hate the Muslim who obeys the laws and practice religion for the peaceful co-existence. After all the religions is made for the peaceful exisitence of the human beings. So gove place to religoin that deserves in your life and not more and not less. All the best.
