::Also, nowhere in the Encyclopedia of Islam Online section on Jihad does it state that Jihad is supposed to be waged on a non-muslim state until it converts...further the reference is from a Interactive Bible website which do not demonstrate any visible credentials on Islam; the website is of poor design (www.bible.ca) and looks like one that was designed in 1995 using a Geocities/Tripod/Lycos template (ie looks suspiciously like a personal web page)  As such I do not believe it is an appropriate reference to be used in the Jihad section.  Thanks.
