GerogeDubyaKush: /* Mention of Jihad in the Qur'an */

'''''Jihad''''' is an [[Islam|Islamic]] concept meaning "to exert utmost effort, to strive, struggle". The term has many meanings to the [[Muslim]], both inward and outward; however, it is mainly used in the West to describe a "holy war" that fundamentalist Muslims fight against non-Muslims or Muslims of other Islamic sects. The word "Jihad" is a transliteration of the [[Arabic]] word "جهاد".

Jihad as "struggle" is divided into two types, the greater Jihad and the lesser Jihad. The greater Jihad is the internal struggle against [[sin]] and temptation and to make one's self a better Muslim. The lesser Jihad is the physical conflict against those who threaten the Muslim way of life. Many non-fundamentalist followers of Islam do not condone the use of jihad as a manner of securing converts.

Jihad in Islamic thought and practice possesses a range of meanings, with Muslim radicals and [[Islamofascist]] [[terrorist]]s focusing on [[terroristic tactics]] via the physical, violent form of struggle to resist what they see as cultural, economic, military, and political assaults from outside the ummah and oppression and injustice within.

== A City of Virtue ==

It is quite true that, in the age of militant Islamic terrorism, it is not very helpful to tell millions of peaceful Muslims that their religion is inherently violent, evil, and oppressive. <ref>[http://reason.com/archives/2007/05/16/theocons-of-the-world-unite/1 Theocons of the World Unite]</ref> Moderate Muslims aspire for a society – a city of virtue -- that will treat all people with dignity and respect.

<blockquote>
Today, the relationship between Islam and the rest is getting increasingly worse. Muslim militants are sowing seeds of poison and hatred between Muslims and the rest of humanity by committing egregious acts of violence in the name of Islam. In this precarious environment, it is important that everyone finds and nurtures the many wonderful examples of moderate Muslims one can still find. <ref name="mod">[http://www.ijtihad.org/moderatemuslims.htm Who are Moderate Muslims?]</ref>
</blockquote>

On January 09, 2010, a group of Canadian and U.S. Islamic leaders on Friday issued a ''[[fatwa]]'', or religious edict, declaring that an attack by extremists on the two countries would constitute an attack on the 10 million Muslims living in North America.<ref name="fatwa">[http://www.islamophobia.org/news.php Fatwa]</ref>

GerogeDubyaKush: /* Video Games and the Spreading of Liberal Values */

The '''video game industry''' is a major entertainment industry that has over $110 billion in annual sales worldwide.<ref>http://www.theesa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Games_Economy-11-4-14.pdf</ref> Video game sales surpassed [[Hollywood]] revenue in the year 2007.<ref name="Video">http://seekingalpha.com/article/89124-the-video-game-industry-an-18-billion-entertainment-juggernaut</ref>

The video game industry is largely lead by liberal organizations, and used as a cash cow by large multinational corporations. Like other liberal dominated fields this industry also usually promotes [[atheism], though their have been several Christian video game developers and publishers such as [[Wisdom Tree Games]]. The field of video game journalism is almost exclusively liberal, the only successful exception to this was [[Heaven Sent Gaming]]'s [[aywv]] publication.
