The author criticizes an article by Dr. Essam Al-Erian, a Brotherhood member, titled “Jihad by [engaging in] war…should it be a duty [on Muslims] in the war on Iraq?” He criticizes Al-Erian for associating jihad with war. This association gives the impression that dividing jihad into military and non- military jihad is the rule and not simply an exception – which is not the case. Al-Erian also used the expression “war on Iraq.” This expression is neutral and Islamists are not satisfied about it. He should have said instead “aggression on Iraq.”
