DLL - Re "...the idea of a jihad or holy war in Islam..." - it was my impression from reading various writings years ago that the concept of jihad did not come from Mohamet, but from his more radical followers after his death. There are some obvious parallels in Christendom here - the message of love and brotherhood and upright course of action of a number of prophets/seers/venerated figures such as Jesus/Yeshua and Mohamet has been twisted by later 'spokesmen' who would divide rather than unite humanity.

Economic motivation often shows up as a fundamental motivation for the twisting, along with desire for power over territory.

Imho - and I can hardly present myself as an expert in this, it's been years .... cheers .... marcos
