THE WEAPONIZED RHETORIC OF JIHAD – The Burning Platform

THE WEAPONIZED RHETORIC OF JIHAD



A non-Muslim who studies Islamic law in any depth soon learns that certain words have different meanings in Islam than they do in ordinary usage. Terms used in Islamic law that have specialized definitions include justicepeacefreedominnocent,human rightsterrorismslander, and any number of other seemingly commonplace English words and phrases.
Spokesmen for Islamic organization — and particularly those for Muslim Brotherhood front groups — rely on our ignorance about these “terms of art”. One reason that they are winning their information war with the West is that we simply donot understand what they really mean when they use these deliberately misleading words.
The following video draws on the expertise of Major (ret.) Stephen Coughlin, Dr. Bill Warner, Robert Spencer, and Clare Lopez to explain the special meanings prescribed by sharia for various crucial terms.
Many thanks to the Victor Laszlo Media Group for producing this video:
Note: Maj. Coughlin misspoke at 17:30 when he mentioned the publication date of Islam and Universal Peace by Sayyid Qutb. It was actually published in 1951.
