Why global jihad is losing - Bobby Ghosh

Throughout the history of Islam, says journalist Bobby Ghosh, there have been two sides to jihad: one, internal, a personal struggle to be better, the other external. A small minority (most recently Osama bin Laden) has appropriated the second, using it as an excuse for deadly global violence against "the West." Ghosh suggests that, now that bin Laden's worldwide organization has fragmented, it's time to reclaim the word. (Filmed at TEDxGeorgetown.)

No, you are mistaken. I am from Europe and I was baptized as Christian. Not that religion plays any important role in my life, and it certainly does not make me judge other people, just like it shouldn't make you despise others. Of course, Jews and Muslims, perhaps, never were friends, but I personally think, that extremists of these two religions can be equally dangerous, and now you're proving just that. Please, we're living in age, where we must learn to appreciate each other more than ever.
