Jihad is most misused word; terrorists have not read Quran: Salman Khan

December 24, 2014

Mumbai, Dec 24: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who usually uses social media to post mundane messages or promote films, recently shared some serious thoughts with his fans.

In a series of posts, he wrote on Twitter: "Jihad means struggle. Struggle to be good. Jihad is the most misused word today ¦logon ne fasad ko jihad bana diya ¦woman is absolutely equal to man and has equal rights ¦those who kill in the name of religion have not read the holy book (sic)."

Besides posting his own messages, Salman even re-tweeted a few posts written by Queen Rania of Jordan. "Till when will innocent children pay the horrific price of extremism #PeshawarAttack #ThisIsNotIslam (sic)," read one of her tweets.

On December 19, a few days after the Peshawar school attack in Pakistan took place, Salman posted on the microblogging site, "To save 1 innocent life is to save entire humanity, to kill 1 innocent life is like killing entire humanity ¦the most heinous crime is killing an innocent ¦even wen at war u r nt supposed to harm children, women, old people, religious places and agriculture. Vo hum mai se nahi jiske hath aur zubaan se log mehfooz nahi (sic)."
