"Jihad means to war against non-Muslims...

The scriptural basis for jihad is such Koranic verses as: (1) 'Fighting is prescribed for you', 2:216; (2) 'Slay them wherever you find them', 4:89; (3) 'Fight the idolators utterly', 9:36"

--- Umdat Al-Salik, the Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law. Chapter o9.0.

"...it is the duty of those who have accepted Islam to strive unceasingly to convert or subjugate those who have not. This obligation is without limit of time or space. It must continue until the whole world has either accepted the Islamic faith or submitted to the power of the Islamic state."

-- Bernard Lewis, renowned historian of Islam and the Middle East, in The Political Language of Islam, p72-3.

In other words:

"Islam is unique among religions of the world in having a developed doctrine, theology and legal system that mandates warfare against unbelievers."

-- Robert Spencer, Author and scholar of Islam, 2006
