“In reality Islam is a militant ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. ‘Muslim’ is the title of that International Militant Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its militant programme. And ‘Jihad’ refers to that militant struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve this objective.”Abul A’la Maududi, “Jihad in Islam,” April 13, 1939, 5, http://muhammadanism.com/Terrorism/jihah_in_islam/jihad_in_islam.pdf.
