- Jihad and Violence (Islamic Server of MSA-USC)
Jihad "is an Arabic word the root of which is Jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life." "Jihad should not be confused with Holy War. The latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War." "Jihad is not a war to force the faith on others, as many people think of it. It should never be interpreted as a way of compulsion of the belief on others, since there is an explicit verse in the Qur'an that says: 'There is no compulsion in religion' Al-Qur'an: Al-Baqarah (2:256)." "Not only in peace but also in war Islam prohibits terrorism, kidnapping, and hijacking, when carried against civilians. Whoever commits such violations is considered a murderer in Islam, and is to be punished by the Islamic state." 10-01

- Essay - How the Last Round of Violence (Intifada) Started (CBC News - MacDonald)
Provides the events, starting with Ariel Sharon's visit to the Temple Mount of Jerusalem, that led to the great increase in violence by Palestinians against Israeli civilians since September of 2000.

MacDonald claims that Sharon provoked the Palestinians in order to improve his political position for running for Prime Minister.
MacDonald points out that Palestinians used the ensuing situation for their own purposes also, rather than to pursue peace. An Arafat official stated 'Our national duty is to continue the confrontation, continue to sacrifice our martyrs, so that the blood will not have been spilled in vain.' 4-02
