Feb 18, 2013: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told a business gathering on Sunday in Istanbul, that Jihad is noble, and should not be confused with terrorism. Jihad is often mischaracterized by American "neo-cons and pro-Israelis."
"Jihad is the name of fighting for our honor, if required, but above all it means fighting against one's own limitations," Davutoglu said. Mr. Davutoglu was speaking at a conference entitled "Turkey in light of international developments, 2013" at the headquarters of the Independent Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association.
"For us, jihad is a sacred idea; let us not taint this idea by using it like neo-cons and pro-Israelis in America," Davutoglu said, while condemning an opposition party deputy who asked the Turkish government on its policy regarding the jihadist movement in Syria at a Turkey-EU Joint Parliamentary Commission meeting on Feb. 15.
