I would have loved for Lex to ask Omar about jihad, what it is, what place does it have in islam today, how's it practiced. Because what all of us that are outside of the religion most often see is what the media or other religions say it is, or what the Quran that was written hundreds of years ago in a much different world says it is. But I bet that just as christians don't apply today everything that the Bible says in a literal sense, so do muslims with their sacred texts.,(reply>), Jihad roughly translate to something like "struggling" with an implicit understanding that the struggle is worthwhile, it can be anything between struggling to wake up from the warmth of your bed to pray and go to work to sustain your family or to be in the defense line,(reply>), Muslims are much more serious about their text and about actually practicing their religion, we believe the Quran is the literal true word of God, it has never changed through history, it's still readable and understandable because the Arabic language is still alive, so very very minimal interpretation should be employed, it's explicitly stated in the quran that you don't get to pick and choose in religion
