Good job over all, Just a footnote to correct one of your comments:

At around 43:50 - 43:55, you mentioned that there is a verse in the holy Quraan and i am roughly quoting you to wage Jihad (strugle) using "hand or teeth, Brain or mind." To clarify THERE IS NO VERSE IN QURAN IN THIS ORDER. We the Islamic Ummah(Community) are very cautious about quoting the Quraan correctly and i know you are not a mulism but in your own words you are an ethical Journalist so by that logic its your responsiblity to spread correnct and accurate information and not distortions and misquotes.


There are several verses about Jihad in Quraan, but the closest to your claim rougly comes from the Hadith - Saying or actions of Prophet Muhammd (pbuh@hf), where he is teaching the muslims different kinds of Jihad (Struggle). Some of them are by using your tongue(Speech-to speak for the truth and justice), by using your Pen(writing-for the truth and Justice ) by using your wealth(charity, helping the poor, orphans/needy etc) by waging self-Jihad (supporting good, forbidding evil, living a righteous life) and so on.


So there are my forms of self-Jihads (struggle) but YES ABSOLUTELY YES there is also Battlefield-Jihad where you actively and physicall fight against the aggressor and occupier of Islamic lands or help the Mujahideen with your speech, with your pen with your wealth and with every other resource in your disposal.


So when Rabiah was working in hospital she was waging Jihad, When she was helpign the poor out she was waging Jihad, when she was living in roach and scorpion infested houses, she was on Gods path conducting Jihad without actually ever picking up a weapon and firing it. Hope this clarifies the concept of Jihad (struggle) a little bit more.
