Abstract
After 9/11 the U.S. singled out the Muslim world as its arch enemy. She has invaded Afghanistan & Iraq as the chief supporters of terrorism & militancy. Both these countries are under occupation. The U.S. has installed proxy regimes in these countries under the pretext of Constitutional democracies. It is a matter of common knowledge that foreign occupations bread resistance & insurgency. People naturally rush to arms for the liberation of their homeland. In a situation, where the so-called state & state-functionaries, are collaborators of the invading forces, the question crops up as to whether & not a disciplined resistance can be offered by ordinary citizens. What is meant by Jihad? Is it the sole prerogative of the state or even the non-state actors can pool their resources & act as a state within a state & fight against the occupying forces? This brief article addresses itself to this burning issue. Of course, the author claims no finality. Our purpose is to initiate a dialogue on this vital issue.
