Muslims and Others Discussing Islam and Related Topics

That's a rather dry title, but I see the subject as quite interesting.

I started a discussion thread a few days ago, and have been very pleased at the often informed and focused discussions in it. The Muslims who contributed to the discussion did a better job of presenting their view of what Islam is than I could. There's a description of "Jihad" given, which I think is quite useful when trying to understand what's been going on over the last few decades.
