Ideological Fight vs Physical fight

The word 'Islam' means Peace. When Allah orders that the Judgment (Deen) in the nearness of Allah is Al-Islam, it means that when confronted with any situation in life, one should always take that decision which leads to peace and security. However, the people bent on violence also take their justification from Book of Allah for waging war on Earth and making violence thereof from their violent interpretations. The link to below post reviews some of the verses of Quran, which these war mongers take to justify waging war on Earth:

Slightly tangential question: "al kitab" means "the book" doesn't it? Presume in this context a reference to the Koran and/or the bible, as in ahl al kitab, People of the Book?

All very unclear. Do you have a view on this that you can express succinctly?

My view is that the book which God revealed is one and is referred as 'Al-Kitab' (The Book). God has many attributes such as Ar-Rahman (The most Gracious), Ar-Raheem (The most Merciful), similarly the book of God has many attributes, such as when it is in written form it is Al-Kitab (the Book), when is read, it is Al-Quran (the reading), as a criteria to judge between right and wrong it is Al-Furqan (the Criterial).
Al-Taurat and Al-Injeel are also attribute of the same Al-Quran, meaning the law and the glad-tidings. They are not separate heavenly books as popularly thought. Similarly the term 'Ahlal-Kitab' when used in Al-Quran, refers to those who adhere to 'Al-Kitab'.

Al-kitab means the revelation given to prophets, in a way. Even though today we have books from very few prophets.

Al-kitab therefore refers to the Qur'an, the Torah as given to Musa, and the gospel as revealed to Isa. Al-kitab was also given to other prophets like Ibrahim, David and Jacob.

So the bible is not Al-kitab in that sense.
