Non musilms have no interest at all in your violent ways, little fights and big global wars, its all a wicked falsehood AND THAT IS WHY YOU ALL GET SO ANGRY AND FIGHT. There is something inherently dishonest in Islam and the reason so many believe in this rot is out of fear, not love, fear.

My personal difficulty (and possibly misunderstanding) comes from so many different Muslim leaders claiming the authority to declare lesser jihad. It seems to be more of a political tool than a religious concept.

Until religious beliefs become fact, mixing religion with politics is a very dangerous thing for everybody. If our beliefs were fact, they wouldn't be beliefs so there would be no reason for conflict; everybody would believe the same thing. The reason for the fight is that we don't know. Does it make sense to fight over what we don't know?
