“The revival of the model of early Islam in a modern form absolutely mandates the reaffirmation of uncompromising animosity to non-believers and the return to violence as a means of attaining political ends. Islamic terrorism, far from being an aberration, became inseparable from modern-day jihad. It is legitimized by it, and it is its defining feature. The late medieval redefinition of jihad as spiritual battling with evil impulses of the soul—a rendering endlessly repeated by Islam’s apologists in the Western world—is quite properly rejected by today’s Islamic activists not only as theologically incorrect (which it is) but also as a dangerous and harmful distraction from the path of divinely ordained struggle” (Serge Trifkovic, The Sword of the Prophet, p. 205).
