Jihad does NOT mean struggle, it means holy war.
You have one imam saying that. It's like having Fred Phelps interpret the Bible and say his views hold for all of Christianity. Other clerics have different interpretations.

More Imam will tell you this than will say it is "an internal struggle".

The majority damn well understand the violent overtones of the term.

And there are a number of Imam on staff at "Ask The Imam".

Eric, I have attended sermons by so-called "moderate" Islamic imans. I have grown up with these scoundrels for a few decades. To put it simply, you don't have the faintest clue of what you are talking about.
