verse<p>There are many misconceptions about Jihad and many wrongly associate Islam with terrorism because of this.</p><ul><li>Some people think Jihad is any war done by Muslims for any reason. It is not.</li><li>Some people think Jihad means “Holy War”. It does not.</li><li>Some people think Quran says to kill all disbelievers in the world who are not Muslims. It does not.</li></ul><p>Islam is a religion of peace. If it supported these above, nobody would accept it except criminals. But the reality is different. People understand the philosophy of Islam. <a href="https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=tcZAc9umdko" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Islam is the fastest growing religion now</a>.</p><p>Let me share the things I found out so that the misconceptions can be clarified.</p><p>Jihad means “striving” or “struggling”. Besides meaning physical fight in some cases, it can also mean things other than war. So Jihad always doesn’t mean physical fight.</p><p>For example, to strive to fight with ones own inner (evil) desires is also Jihad, which does not exactly paint the picture of “war” in our minds. Dr. Zakir Naik explains the word Jihad in this video:</p><p><strong><a href="https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=guw5bez0wuA" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Concept of Jihad in Islam – Dr Zakir Naik</a> by Dr Zakir Naik channel</strong></p><p>Misquotes and using verses out of context is one of the main problems why this misconception exists. They selectively quote <a href="https://quran.com/9:5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">9:5</a>, <a href="https://quran.com/8:60" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">8:60</a> while not quoting verses that come after them, like <a href="https://quran.com/9:6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">9:6</a>, <a href="https://quran.com/8:61" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">8:61</a> etc. Lack of knowledge about Islamic history is another problem. They only see the fight but don’t know the background behind the fight.</p><p>“Islam allows fighting as a last resort” is mentioned in the conclusion of the video above, which I think any logical person on this earth would agree. Even outside religion, defending oneself is a logical civil right. It is about people who are under attack and has no other choice but to fight. As I mentioned before Jihad also has other contexts which does not involve physically fighting at all. Here are the types of Jihad:</p><p><em>CW: Audio link given, video contains women in tight clothing [around 3:11-3:17], women without hijab [around 3:46-3:55]</em></p><p><strong><a href="https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=kib6F5Fc7ac&amp;listen=1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">The 13 TYPES of JIHAD in Islam | Misconceptions Finally Removed</a> by Pink Pastel Studio channel</strong></p><p><a href="https://islamqa.info/en/answers/20214/ruling-on-jihad-and-kinds-of-jihad" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">This page</a> has more information on the types. The page is full of things that are not related to physical fighting. Only a small part of it is. And that even has conditions like that the nation has been attacked (allowing fighting in defense) etc. I would request people to ponder, if some nation is under attack, what are they supposed to do?</p><p>All the Jihad of physical fight that prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) did were done either for defense or punitive measure. The following video concludes that it “was never an instrument of injustice. It was never an instrument of promoting religion by forcing people to accept Islam. It was always a noble cause of justice, defending victims of injustice and who needed protection from oppressors.”</p><p><strong><a href="https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=DNFNCSiZmTY" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Jihad series: If Islam is a religion of peace, why did the Prophet (pbuh) fight battles?</a> by Navigate Islam channel</strong></p><p>Here are two postings from a channel named Talk Islam that respond on Jihad and other things that addresses what people wrongly think about them:</p><p><strong><a href="https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=gVKUKb3jd0E" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace - MUSLIM RESPONSE</a> by Talk Islam channel</strong></p><p>Note: “Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace” is just for the title.

Ian Tindale<p>Originally I wouldn’t have thought position was so important in the way AI works, it didn’t seem like a super-important parameter to me, but it turns out that it is</p><p>Also, for a very long time in life I’ve never considered the order that things occur in to be overly important, surely it’s the same no matter what, but as life went on I’ve come to regard the order in which things happen as perhaps important after all</p><p>It’s now starting to occur to me that ‘position’ in the AI context and ‘order’ in the context of sequences of stuff happening in life are pretty much the same thing</p><p>Now I’m wondering if the order in which a person is presented with discrete packages of information or concepts makes a big difference, and I think it does, and further, I think it can possibly be detected –&nbsp;in the future it might be that a person’s current understanding can be dismantled into the contributory concepts that that person has been exposed to and comprehended, but more importantly, in which order did they trip over those concepts in their life</p><p>(A further parameter might be ‘how much did they understand those concept packages, and does their understanding comprise any misunderstandings?)</p><p>Could it be possible in the future to analyse how a person sequentially came to understand their present position in their life, broken down into the sequence of contributory chunks, and further could it then be possible to re-order the presentation of those chunks in a powerful enough way to make the understanding so much more useful or better or productively happy (or do we have to erase the brain and start again)</p><p><a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/concept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>concept</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/package" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>package</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>understanding</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/order" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>order</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/position" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>position</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/misunderstanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>misunderstanding</span></a> <a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/gestalt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gestalt</span></a></p>
