‘My Jihad’: CAIR Ad Campaign Tries to Rebrand ‘Jihad’ as a Positive Word

Jan. 7, 2013 7:31am Sharona Schwartz

Jihad means friendship according to the new advertising campaign (photo from MyJihad.org)

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is trying to rebrand the word jihad in an advertisement campaign launched last week on San Francisco buses.

The MyJihad campaign aims to educate Americans about what the group believes is the real meaning of the word jihad.

The slogans appearing on the buses include:

“My Jihad is to stay fit despite my busy schedule. What’s yours?”

“My Jihad is to build friendships across the aisle. What’s yours?”

“My Jihad is to not judge people by their cover. What’s yours?”

This poster touts fitness as a manifestation of jihad (photo from MyJihad.org)

According to its website, the campaign aims “to share the proper meaning of Jihad as believed and practiced by the majority of Muslims.” The group explains [Emphasis in original]:

Jihad is a central tenet of the Islamic creed which means “struggling in the way of God”. The way of God, being goodness, justice, passion, compassion, etc (not forcible conversion as wrongly claimed by some).

As Muslims, we are taught to put forth a concerted and noble effort against injustice, hate, misunderstanding, war, violence, poverty, hunger, abuse or whatever challenge big or small we face in daily life, with the purpose of getting to a better place.

While the struggle for justice may be physical (as a last resort, and even then it ought to be a just struggle that goes above and beyond observing the universal code of conduct and rules of engagement), the greatest Jihad is that of the self, a fact often ignored by, or unknown to, many. In more than one sense, Jihad is more about peace and education than anything else. […] Jihad is a personal commitment to service, patience, determination, and taking the higher road, as such, it tasks us with confronting our own weaknesses, vices, and shortcomings; it is about taking personal responsibility.

Campaign organizers say the word jihad has been “widely misrepresented” due to “first and foremost, the actions of Muslim extremists,” “public indoctrination by Islamophobes” and “a selective media.” They would now like to reclaim the word so that non-Muslims no longer associate jihad with “terrorism, blowing up things, and spilling innocent blood.”

The group claims that jihad is “often mistranslated” as holy war. It explains: “The simple, yet much ignored fact is that Jihad is a positive, peaceful, and constructive practice in the lives of everyday Muslims whose reality has long been excluded from the conversation on Islam – as if only the extremists count.”

They have their work cut out for them. Just on Sunday, Syrian President Bashar Assad used the word in its pejorative sense in his first public speech in six months. He said his “criminal,” al-Qaeda inspired opponents want to turn Syria into “jihad land.”

In a New York Post article examining the meaning of the word jihad, Middle East scholar Daniel Pipes in 2002 provided examples of terrorist groups that used the word in their name, including:

•   The International Islamic Front for the Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders: Osama bin Laden’s organization;
•   Laskar Jihad: responsible for the murder of more than 10,000 Christians in Indonesia;
•   Harakat ul-Jihad-i-Islami: a leading cause of violence in Kashmir;
•   Palestinian Islamic Jihad: the most vicious anti-Israel terrorist group of them all;
•   Egyptian Islamic Jihad: killed Anwar El-Sadat in 1981, many others since, and
•   Yemeni Islamic Jihad: killed three American missionaries on Monday.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s logo

For Palestinian Islamic Jihad – which the State Department defines as a terrorist organization — the term also has a clear meaning.

Its logo shows two rifles emerging from the dome of Jerusalem’s Al Aqsa Mosque, and two fists extended in front. Between the rifles, the phrase “God is the greatest” is written in green – a clear intersection of religion and violence, evoking the concept of holy war. The map of the entire state of Israel is seen in red, making clear its ultimate jihad is to destroy Israel.

On Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s website here you can browse numerous photos glorifying the rockets and other weapons the group has used in their jihad against Israeli civilians.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad has waged its own bus campaign in Israeli cities that is, blowing up passenger buses.

Recognizing the long and bloody history associated with the word, will CAIR succeed in convincing Americans of the more innocent meaning by posting advertisements on city buses?

The PR push aims to counter Pamela Geller’s anti-jihad advertising campaign, about which TheBlaze reported last fall. Those ads, which ran in the New York subway system after a legal battle, read: “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.” They also appeared on San Francisco buses and in the Washington, D.C. Metro.

The CAIR-sponsored MyJihad ads began appearing on buses in Chicago last month. The campaign website says it will soon be selling MyJihad t-shirts, baseball hats and mugs.

This lead photo on MyJihad.org’s photo gallery shows a bus passing a Virgin Megastore

The above photo was likely an unintentional oversight by the campaign’s strategists. It is the lead photo on the MyJihad website’s photo gallery showing the “to not judge people by their cover” poster on a bus driving past a Virgin Megastore. The photo might remind viewers that some hardline Islamists believe that suicide bombers – whom they call “martyrs” – are rewarded with 72 virgins in Paradise.

On Thursday, CAIR asked journalists to stop using the term Islamist when writing about Muslim militants, explaining it is “used in an almost exclusively pejorative context.”

  It does stand for “Peace and Friendship” as long as you are a Muslim and follow Islamic religious practices to the letter of the law and abide by Shariah.
  
  Otherwise it means taking over the entire planet by whatever means necessary, including murder, bombings and every other vile and dispicable practice possible.
  
  CAIR and everything they promote is an attempt to hoodwink the gullible into believeing that Islam is a religion of peace. CAIR is a subversive group.

  I just wished I had the finances to start some advertising campaigns.
  
  I would Post Executive Order 11110 billboards all over the country, for starters:
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYVCIdrcS6k
  
  Then I would post Executive order 12803 all over, also.
  http://rense.com/general86/nomis.htm
  
  I would have Agenda21 Billboards.
  
  Chemtrail/Geoengineering billboards.
  
  I would post some Quotes:
  
  “When the Federal Reserve Act was passed, the people of these United States did not perceive that a world banking system was being set up here. A super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. Every effort has been made by the Fed (Reserve) to conceal its powers but the truth is — the Fed has usurped the government!”
  Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of House Comm. on Banking and Currency from 1920 to 1931
  
  How about this one?
  
  “The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson.”
  – President FD Roosevelt
  
  ~~~~~
  
  “Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.”
  ― Theodore Roosevelt

  Jihad can mean personal spiritual struggle or struggle to overcome obstacles as an individual. That much is true. But this had is based on a lie, a partial truth.
  
  The whole truth is that Jihad also means external mass conflict to impose their values on everyone else.
  
  But liberals always believe half truths & spread them. Where did SleasyHippo/Monicne or Glennda/Wango go? Never ind. If they are not here encinom or charles116/Dora will show. If that fails SendtheMeatballs will start shooting & scooting around midnight.

  BLAZE, when will you stop with the Islamist DISINFORMATION??
  
  The jihad war cry Allahu Akbar does NOT mean “God is the Greatest.” THINK, please. The latter does not make sense. It means “ALLAH is Greater” (than other gods).
  http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Allahu_Akbar
  
  As for Jihad meaning war, here’s what Barack Hussein’s “holy” Qur’an says:
  
  Qur’an 4:95: “Not equal are those believers who sit at home and RECEIVE NO INJURIOUS HURT, and those who strive hard, fighting Jihad in Allah’s Cause with their wealth and lives. Allah has granted a rank higher to those who strive hard, fighting Jihad with their wealth and BODIES to those who sit (at home). Unto each has Allah promised good, but He prefers Jihadists who strive hard and fight above those who sit home. He has distinguished his FIGHTERS with a huge reward.” (Emphasis added).

  So let’s debate this in a civil manner, since we are both patriots. Look, I know the NWO is going to happen, and the their elite will force us all into a global currency and monetary system. They will accomplish this through non-violent means, i.e., via the UN, and both domestic and international legislation. So, having clarified both our positions, are we in agreement — mostly?

  We are in agreement more than 95%, I would say.
  
  I believe the U.N. (IMF and World Bank) are going to continue with their slow tyranny, in a peaceful manner, although, I think It will not end peacefully.
  
  I believe the U.N. is going to make bolder steps soon. I believe they are going to make the big power grab, in the very-near future.
  
  I know that the U.N. aquired the Lien on the Bankrupt U.S. in 1944, at Bretton Woods Treaty.
  They aquired that lien from the Federal Reserve Private Bank.
  
  So, “quitting” your creditor is not so easy to do.
  They are the Creditors, Under international U.C.C. liens.
  
  I know the U.N. began liquidation of America in 1992 under Bushe’s EO 12803.

So if federal government subsidizes funds to ANY state, city, town, private organization, etc., they have to abide to federal laws. In a nutshell that is…
But then advertising on a public transit vehicle falls under the 1st Amendment…

Due to space, I’m trying to be brief in getting my point across…

Another example of waste… Although written in AUG2010, this is still in effect…
Do federal employees really deserve public transit perks? SF Examiner Staff Report
http://www.sfexaminer.com/blogs/blogs/do-federal-employees-really-deserve-public-transit-perks

Last wk marked the 2nd fare hike for Washington’s public transit system this summer. The new regular base fare for Metrorail is $2.15 during rush hour — double what it cost 10yrs ago to ride the train. Yet not everyone will feel the pinch in their pocketbooks.

That’s because most fed employees get to ride for free. Taxpayers subsidize their commute with up to $230/month in benefits. So while other D.C. area commuters shell out more money for Metro, govt workers simply draw a larger subsidy.

Take fed worker Wayne Smith of Chevy Chase, Md. The Smithsonian Institution employee told Washington Post the fare hike was of “no concern to me.” President Obama’s economic stimulus increased the monthly subsidy for federal employees from $120/month to $230/month in March 2009. It’s scheduled to drop back to $120 on Dec. 31, but there’s a push by govt workers to maintain the current level.

There is also a movement on RT (Which I watch to see what the far left is thinking) to brand suicide bombers as heroes similar to D-Day fighters who went to certain death, or kamakasees. This same channel is very anti Israel and tries at every chance to make heroes out of the Palestinians.

The left will fall for it like they always do. Don’t let the people with active brain cells fall for this propaganda.
However I must add that the Catholic church did the same thing and also untruthfully said that God will it. Of course it should be better today right? No when the pope was in South America and Mexico he said that anyone that claims to be Christian outside of the Catholic church is Anathema (dammed as a heretic). To call the muslims out on this but not the Catholic church is irresponsible.

  Big difference though. We Catholics are not into cutting heads off or taxing Protestants because they don’t convert to the Catholic faith. But, if it makes you feel better lump us with the Isamists. After all the Misssouri Synod of the Lutheran Church considers the Pope to be the Anti-Christ. Be careful though, we wear the same clothes you do. We attend the same schools. We live in your neighborhood. We are invisible. We are all around you. BaaaaHaaaHaaa

  And BTW.. how is the Pope implying Protestants are invalid any different from you implying Catholicism is invalid?

CAIR needs to stand up to the terrorists that blow people up, to stand up against the Saudi Wahabi’s, stand up about the killing of Christians through the muslim world, stand up against the subjugating of women, stand up against the abuse of young girls under the guise of marriage.

muslims cannot be trusted on anything .. Their whole life is to further their violent cult.

  Just like tax increases, “stimuluses”, QE’s, and printing money 24/7 are all about paying down the debt…

  That may be true but remember that their education is to kill the big and little satan.
  
  Since it is in schools it must be true that they should kill all Jews and Americans.
  
  Why are we letting these Psychos into our country?

  @ CONCERND4USA – “Why are we letting these Psychos into our country?”

Ok, people, connect ALL the dots now.

This story is significant because it is an example of how a palatable something can be made to seem through marketing and soft indoctrination.

All of you who posted on previous stories this week about how Al Jazeera will be JUST another new source. ……Are you making any connections YET?

This effort by CAIR is exactly the type of feel-good, attractive crap that Al Jazeera will also use in the American version of its broadcasting.

It will be especially effective with our vulnerable youth — who have deliberately NOT been taught to be critical thinkers.

We have several generations out there now who are victims of a dumbed-down educational system. They have been softened and are now just ripe for picking in this cultural harvest.

It is NOT intolerance to QUESTION what is going on. A great number will see my comments as non-inclusive and bigoted. They will never examine any information, not even the feel-good pablum they are fed by the media.

Forget threats outside our country. The biggest threat to our freedoms is the dumbed down populace who have only been trained to take notes and regurgitate what they have learned! The majority who have been trained like Pavlov’s dogs to salivate when presented with attractive people selling them feel-good ideas! Look at the side of that bus in SF. Case in point.

WAKE UP.

  Excellent post…
  
  It won’t be long before we see multicultural tv commercials with young skulls full of mush preferencing every sentence with “My jihad…”

  “It will be especially effective with our vulnerable youth — who have deliberately NOT been taught to be critical thinkers.”
  
  For those that may doubt this line let me share this briefly…
  My daughter had a ‘boyfriend’ who had a talk with me about where he gets his news… His response was Al Jazeera because they are unbiased and give a full report.
  When I stated their history of reporting he challenged me on specifics…
  He gave up and told me that very little, if any, of what I said was true.
  
  I gave up and I’m glad that my daughter gave up on him as well…

  Thanks Woodyee,
  
  It felt good to vent. I enjoy your posts too.
  
  Now I gotta go to work for a couple hours where I am not at a desk and can reply to those who will paint me paranoid or a bigot.
  
  But that will be sort of fun to do this afternoon.

  Great post- YES! Bigoted- Heck- No!
  Absolutely spot on.
  
  Big Surprise- the Propaganda machine is out in full force in the USSA.
  I guess 9-11 is relegated to the history trash heap. Sad…

Ishlam is a peaceful religion, throats are slit only when all other attempts at conversion fail.

Actually, “Jihad” means pretty much the same thing as “Mein Kampf” (My struggle).

Another thought: saying “my jinot” is like saying “my cancer”.

Once you own something it is yours.

DON’T!

CAIR’S jihad is to put the Muslim Bros. in as good a light as possible, despite having shoved a knife up Gadaffi’s rear end before murdering him; despite their seizing power in Egypt against the will of the people; despite their invitation to have relations with another terrorist group – Hamas; despite their battlefield alliances with Al-Qaeda and other group aligned with them and armed by Obammy and others…

CAIR was hit with the bright light of Truth during a famous interview that took place a couple of years ago, on the John & Ken Show, KFI AM 640 Los Angeles. I put my word on it, that if The Blaze were to get hold of the transcripts and/or audio, it would make for a GREAT story/show.

CAIR’s jihad is to promote the growth of the Muslim faith under sharia law throughout the United States. Want to see a Muslim USA success story? View this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnJBW49afzg

I have a fairly good take on Islam as I lived in a Muslim country as an ex-pat. I ASSURE you that there is nothing positive about the cult…. It is violent, demoralizing and dangerous. Those who worship Mohammed are prisoners of a destructive orthodoxy….

Jihad = Holy WAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

More propaganda from CAIR, and they try to make Sharia and Radical Islam to be friendly across the board due to so many not bothering to do their homework.

  “On Thursday, CAIR asked journalists to stop using the term ‘Islamist’…
  
  You can bet your sweet bippy they will stop. They’ll also help CAIR make the word “islamist” out to be on par with “n!&&3r”.
  
  Dang islamists and their supporters in the US mass media.

  What I found striking is the San Fransisco connection. I wonder if all the GLBT folks understand that in Islamic countries they cut the heads off of GLBT? The really funning part is that the GLBT in San Francisco will be singing the praises of CAIR and jihad.
