ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Holy war in Islam

Okay kiddo, so sometimes people who follow the religion Islam believe that they need to fight and protect their religion which is called a "holy war". This is because they think that their religion is super important and they want to defend it against people who might hurt or attack it.

But here's the thing, not all people who follow Islam believe in holy war or that it's okay to fight. In fact, most Muslims believe in peace and don't want to hurt anyone.

It's also really important to remember that just because someone is from a certain religion, it doesn't mean that they all believe the same thing or act the same way. So we shouldn't judge or stereotype people based on their religion.
