Relationship between religion and the wars that have occurred or are taking place in the world is an issue that has become a subject of debates today and forced some scholars to have made the commentary on this. An article has explored by Hans Kong, a prominent professor of ecclesiastical theology, that studies this issue with focus on three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. But since much of this essay is about jihad in Islam and he, as a non-Muslim, has made comments, it seems necessary to evaluate his remarks. The present article, with the aim of preserving the truth of Islam and presenting the original face of its doctrines, has revisited Kung's article in a critical analytical way. This article, in spite of its positive aspects, is intertwined with significant negative points in introducing this important Islamic teaching.
