ajiss-2075	Boase, Roger	God of Battles: Holy Wars of Christianity and Islam by Peter Partner. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1998, 364 pp.	2000.0	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1048	39	57	As Seyyed Hossein Nasr says, concerning the concept of jihad, Its translation into 'holy war,' combined with the erroneous notion of Islam prevalent in the West as the 'religion of the sword,' has helped to eclipse its inner and spiritual significance. I Partner also fails to explain that the purpose of jihad is defensive and that all forms of aggression are condemned in Islam: And fight in God's cause against those who wage war against you, but do not commit aggression -for, verily, God does not love aggressors (Qur'an, 2: 190).	cache/ajiss-2075.pdf	txt/ajiss-2075.txt
