  Davutoğlu says no connection between jihad and terrorism February 18, 2013 - 14:27 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - There is no connection between jihad and terrorism, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said, adding that suggestions to the contrary come from American neo-cons and Israelis. “Jihad is the name of fighting for our honor if required but firstly it means fighting against our own self’s limits, according to us,” Davutoğlu said in Istanbul at the headquarters of the Independent Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (MÜSİAD), where he attended the conference “Turkey in the light of international developments, 2013.” “For us, jihad is a sacred notion; let’s not taint this notion by using it like neo-cons and pro-Israelis in America,” Davutoğlu said, according to the Hurriyet Daily News.
