On September 11, 2001, America endured the deadliest Islamic terror attack in its history, with nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost in a coordinated assault on U.S. soil by Muslim jihadists. This was not merely an act of “jihad terror” but a calculated act of ideological warfare against Western values and freedoms. The term “jihad” and the ideology it represents are often downplayed or obscured by left-leaning media. Within Islamic doctrine, jihad can be carried out by various means: through the sword (physical violence), the pen (spreading propaganda), or the purse (using financial resources).
When Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, took the stage at President Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, his call to “crush jihad” was a solemn reminder of what America truly faces. Lutnick, who lost 658 employees in the Islamic terror attacks on 9/11, stands as a voice of those who understand the price of inaction.
Yet left-wing media outlets like The New Republic, represented by Islamic writers like Hafiz Rashid, are engaged in a campaign of misinformation, using terms like “Islamophobia” to silence critical conversations about jihad. Rather than addressing the reality of the jihadist threat, Rashid’s response to Lutnick’s speech frames him as a bigot, distorting the urgent message to protect Americans from a violent ideology.
Jihad: A Term with a Clear History of Violence
Rashid’s and other Muslims’ portrayal of “jihad” as merely a benign “inner struggle” is not just misleading—it’s a dangerous and most deliberate obfuscation. The term has historically and repeatedly referred to holy war in the context of expanding Islamic supremacy. Islamic texts, particularly the Quran and Hadiths, emphasize jihad as a form of warfare meant to spread Islam by force. Quranic verses exempting only the weak or disabled from jihad (4:95, 9:91) illustrate that jihad has consistently been a physical, often violent, effort. By portraying jihad as an exclusively personal or introspective struggle, apologists ignore this broader context and obscure the truth.
Unlike the sanitized version popularized in modern discourse, the concept of jihad historically is categorically a militant struggle. The writings of the most reliable Hadith compilers, such as Sahih Bukhari, reference jihad in terms of warfare over fifty times. These interpretations, embedded in Islamic jurisprudence and doctrine, provide a clear picture: jihad is intrinsically linked to the spread of Islam through force. […]
