llamster Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Jihad is a reference to the demons' fighting style. How's anyone going to be offended? Jihad isn't a holy word to Muslims. It's just something that's in their belief system. Would I be offended if someone used the word "savior" or "ressurection" in their title? Also, I've only written a small portion of the story. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xewleer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Jihad is a reference to the demons' fighting style. How's anyone going to be offended? Jihad isn't a holy word to Muslims. It's just something that's in their belief system. Would I be offended if someone used the word "savior" or "resurrection" in their title? Also, I've only written a small portion of the story. As a Christian, the words "Savior" and "resurrection" are very special, but it not something to be offended over in any way or use (well... except in used with four letter words, you know the kind) I would not feel offended if someone had their title as "Savior" it is just the title of the story (unless the story was pornographic...) The idea is: that unless the story is offensive to your culture, you shouldn't really worry about it offending anyone.

LordBlk Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 actually the word jihad is holy as it refers to alll the hundreds of thousands of muslims who have died during the hundreds of years before us defending islam and giving up what was most valuable to them THEIR LIVES that is a great sacrifce and the word is now considered holy and is regarded as a sacred word as it is also used in the quran which is extremley a holy symbol to all muslims and it is a uniting face for all muslims as everywhere everyone will agree on the words that are on the same page and no one will change them and no one can i have thousands of stories about the someone trying to change the quran and they always ended up getting caught in one way or another what i am saying is that the word jihad doesn't seem very holy because bin-laden used to to fight in the worng way that is why myslef and other muslims dispise suicide bombers as suicide is the most horrible crime in all relegion including christianity and islam and is one of the sins god will never forgive and that bin ladin tried to change the meaning of the quran not the actual words as the quran was written by god and has many meaning to one scentence some are clear some are not and the day the meaning of the word jihad is hounourable again is the day my country hangs all the people supporting the taliban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llamster Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 didn't this used to be Jihad? Why change it? Didn't like the title. Plus, I've decided what the plot is going to be like. Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
