A community-maintained tertiary reference on jihad, directly examined. Its strength is citing named classical jurists (Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyyah) and named modern historians of Islamic law (Rudolph Peters, Bernard Lewis, Ahmed al-Dawoody) with specific claims attributable to each; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a specialist monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
