veiled4allah: Hiraba versus Jihad veiled4allah: Hiraba versus JihadThe term hirabah refers to public terrorism in a war against society and civilization. In legal terminology it is defined as "spreading mischief in the land," but its precise meaning, as defined by Professor Khalid Abou el Fadl, is "killing by stealth and targeting a defenseless victim in a way intended to cause terror in society." This is the Islamic definition of terrorism. It is the very opposite of jihad.For more about the Islamic concept of hiraba, see Bin Laden's Fatwa Is A Call To Harabah Not Jihad.
