One thing we do know: The prophet of Islam, Muhammad, didn’t practice the religion these nice people are preaching.

I believe the radicals would want us to jump to conclusions and ignorantly assert that ‘all Muslims are the same’. Its important that we remain objective and balanced, lest we become the devisive tools of radical Islam that those radicals would desire us to be.

First of all, Islam is a religion of tolerance, love, and peace. This is what we expect from our current generation in the transfer and the definition of true Islam to the world and ordinary people. Thank you Jennifer and thank to those who in charge of this campaign.

My Jihad is making Atheism respectable in the public square!

To noronha vivian:You are talking in generalities assuming that all Muslims want to do is kill those who do not believe as they do. You are wrong. There is good and bad in all nations and all religions. We refuse to be identified as terrorists any longer. While you rant your stereotypes, I will be busy taking care of my family, being kind to my neighbors, feeding the homeless, visiting the sick and elderly, and making this world a better place with love and patience!

The issue is not what Jihad is but what it has degenerated into.All over the world the muslims in the countries where they are the majority community wtreats all non muslims as pariahs and fit to be slaughtered,They take advantage of all fwree societies and make out they are peaceful and that Islam preaches a brotherhood,but the truth is the Koran does not ban violence and from the beginning of Islam till date they continue violence,the countries where tthis is happening is known to all and this includes the so called spring countries where christians are being hounded out.Jihad is to clean out nons.

Excellent idea in terms of a campaign for communicating with the public at large.

God bless all the good and pious Muslims who are trying to do their best to live out their faith in peace.

I can understand the point of this campaign, but I think that perhaps the message needs to go first to those Muslims who believe that Jihad means violence and horror. Until they absorb this message, I don’t know how much success this campaign will have.

I’m glad that most Muslims see Jihad in spiritual terms, but I think it’s going to be a long, long time before non-Muslims have good feelings about the term. I’m not going to apologize for having a negative view of the word – there are thousands and thousands of people who’ve died at the hand of Muslims who believe in a violent and merciless Jihad. A bus sign is not going to make that disappear.

This is the Islam that we know, and its great principles. Thank you Jennifer for this Lighting, thanks to America for this freedom, and thanks American Muslims who will regain Islam’s significance Semitic principles

All religions are distorted by our sensationalizing media, but none more so than Islam. Thank you for this Muslim ‘soul food’ meditation suggestion.
