Jihad is an inner war: SRK
Shah Rukh Khan is Bollywood's brand ambassador. The star of Bollywood, who is all the time all over the place, is troubled lately by the happenings in the Islamic world. At the same time, he feels it is important for him to stand up and be counted, "to be standing for the goodness of Islam".
In an interview with the weekly news magazine, Tehelka, the Bollywood icon whose children are being brought up by the tenets of both religions says he stands for what a modern Muslim should be.
"I'd like people to know that Islam is not only about being a fanatic, or radically different, angered person, or one who only does jihad. I'd like people to know that the actual meaning of jihad is to overcome one's own violence and weakness.
IMO: Views on Islam differ widely but one can reasonably argue that Allah will punish some intentional misrepresenters of the faith. These may well include many who hold to other views than those above.
