Sorry but I don't have time for this.

You make some comment on "lesser jihad" then search for it in Google and come up with a reference that has nothing to do with what you were trying to say. And now you want to bicker with me about it, trying to bait me.

Here is what you said:

In particular, do you believe anyone has the standing within the Muslim community to call a jihad (lesser variety) to expel “unbelievers”?

Now you have Googled "lesser jihad", and are saying:

The greater jihad is the “fight” within one’s self, and the lesser is the “fight” against others.

... the reference to which was pretty nonexistent in your earlier post.

As for this:

It's one thing to be immersed in ME culture, and another to be isolated at some military or oil company compound.

It would indeed be different. It is, however, not the case. You are getting pretty insistent about personal details I obviously do not care to share with you. Whatever you are trying to do, it won't happen.

You are convinced some guys in a university in Egypt can call Jihad for the Muslim world? Continue to believe just that. It is just as likely as some professor in Harvard calling the next Crusades, but hey, who am I to talk on the issue when there are North Americans among us who have never set foot in the Middle East and who cannot understand a word these people say, but who are now armed with CNN and Google and can speak endlessly on the subject.

I am done talking to you on this. You can have the last word if you so wish.
