Wasn't JEHAD started By our (christian) God?

It's Jihad. And God did tell the Israelites to disinhabit the inhabitants of the land God had given to them. But Jihad, Holy War, is a Muslim concept. It's mentioned 60 times in the Koran. The Bible doesn't teach Christians to kill those who refuse to convert like the Koran does.

Muhammad organized 65 military campaigns in the last ten years of his life and personally led 27 of them. The more power that he attained, the smaller the excuse needed to go to battle, until finally he began attacking tribes merely because they were not part of his growing empire.

After Muhammad’s death, his most faithful followers and even his own family turned on each other almost immediately. There were four Caliphs (leaders) in the first twenty-five years. Three of the four were murdered. The third Caliph was murdered by the son of the first. The fourth Caliph was murdered by the fifth, who left a 100-year dynasty that was ended in a gruesome, widespread bloodbath by descendents of Muhammad’s uncle.

Muhammad’s own daughter, Fatima, and his son-in-law, Ali, who both survived the pagan hardship during the Meccan years safe and sound, did not survive Islam after the death of Muhammad. Fatima died of stress from persecution within three months, and Ali was later assassinated. Their son (Muhammad’s grandson) was killed in battle with the faction that became today’s Sunnis. His people became Shias. The relatives and personal friends of Muhammad were mixed into both warring groups, which then fractured further into hostile sub-divisions as Islam grew.

Muhammad left his men with instructions to take the battle against the Christians, Persians and Jews. For the next four centuries, Muslim armies steamrolled over unsuspecting neighbors, plundering them of loot and slaves, and forcing the survivors to either convert or pay tribute at the point of a sword.

Jihad doesn't mean holy war. In Arabic it means to strive for something or to struggle with something. The word you are looking for is jihad bis saif which means struggle with the sword, a form of defending the faith (which I view as unacceptable).

To answer your question the type of wars the Jews participated wouldn't be considered jihad bis saif so no the OT god isn't the perpetrator of jihad bis saif. The Jews did murder many, but those were more of tribal wars for territory.

jihad does not mean holy war.

christians and jews haev holy wars.

jihad means struggle, and defence of the religeon and youself.

right now i am explaining to you jihad from an islamic point of view, and this is a type of jihad, but with words, which is better than fighting jihad.

it is jihad to live in a country where it is okay to have unmarried sex, or drink.

jihad is an islamic word, and it has nothign to do with any other religeon.

What does Jihad have to do with God and the bible?? Show me in the bible where it talks about Jihad. If not, then this question has no biblical basis nor is it relevant to the bible.

So you are defending the Canaanites, who were into human sacrifice, WAY TO GO.

They were burning babies in human sacrifice and other nasty acts of devotion to their gods. God was cleaning house.

I think we covered this already:
