ABSTRACT
The Muslims and their supporters in the West claim that Islam means peace and a religion of tolerance. It rejects violence and promotes interracial harmony. Jihad does not mean holy war but inner struggle against the self. The common enemy is fanaticism and Islam is a partner in this struggle. After Mohammad was made the political leader of Medina, and his followers increased numerically, significantly, the Islamic commandments issued by Muhammad were meant to encourage the fight for the Islamic community by jihad in the way of Allah—warfare as sacred efforts. The Islamic propagation is very highly pronounced, and one can find it in numerous publications, written and electronic. One can sum up their main arguments as this—all individuals in Islam are equal. Islam does not accept a system which involves any kind of dictatorship, nor does it accept a system of monarchy. Islam was the first institution ever to advocate and implement such human rights as universal equality.
