Insights into the Abrahamic Faiths

http://pjmedia.com/spengler/2015/02/16/jihad-and-self-sacrifice-in-islam/

Reformation of Islam is impossible. Jihad is the meaning of Islam. Sacrifice is requisite to all the Abrahamic faiths. For Muslims the form of the sacrifice is jihad. The Muslim sacrifices himself and thereby proves his faith. For Christians and Jews, the sacrifice is vicarious--it is ritualized, as in the Eucharist. But, Allah will not accept merely symbolic sacrifice. He requires the blood of the believer. All this is made quite clear in the Koran. The manifold encroachments of modernity incite the faithful of the Ummah to enact the Koranic command: jihad. This will continue until the Muslim world "burns to the socket."
