Discuss the terms Jihad and Sharia as understood by Muslims and contrast it with popular understandings of these term by none Muslims, particularly Americans.
Muslims believes that the real concept of jihad does not allow violence and bears no resemblance to Islamists in particular
Sharia provides principles on how to live an ethical life. Taking it as a law is totally based upon human intellectual activity therefore it is fallable and changeable not radical
American views of Islamic terms like jihad and sharia in particular worsened in the months after 9/11 but things changed gradually. Jihad and sharia were misinterpreted without taking its core genuine ideas of welfare of human & mankind
Mostly in the world People define themselves in part as a function of how others view them. So it is changing ideological phenomenon
