"Economist, 1.jihad in islam means struggle, and the best form of jihad in Islam is the personnel struggle, i.e struggle to purify one's soul of evil influences.
2.murder, suicide bombings, genocide, aimed at innocent civilians (be it jews, muslims or non-muslims) is strictly forbidden and is un-Islamic.
3.Most Palestinians just want to live a life of peace, prosperity and dignity, you must understand that, you can't paint all Palestinians as evil, "uncivilized" (as someone else put it), terrorists who's only motive in life is to wipe israel out."
Use your good judgment. Ignore the disparagement and make points that illustrate the above values. My sense of proportion is assaulted daily when I view defence.pk (a pakistani defense forum). The views expressed of Americans can be venomous and certainly inaccurate. My obligation is to dispute w/ as many pointed facts as I can muster (w/ links to sustain my arguments) and desist from crying "foul". Few will listen and some will even take pleasure should I whine.
Display a lucid and incisive discourse and you'll positively affect others and better serve Islam in the process. WAB is an excellent vehicle to sharpen your arguments if used properly.
I wish you well.
