"Jihad" ONLY means "struggle". (fwiw, i blame the "main-SLIME media" for you NOT knowing this. that is NOT the only thing the "media" has lied about!)

In the Qu'ran, where the term is used, it is used in the context of battle. I've read the Qu'ran. Have you?

Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day ... until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low
            Surah IX:29

O ye who believe! Choose not for friends such of those who received the Scriptures before you
        Surah V:57

Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush...
        Surah IX:5

And slay them wherever ye find them ... Such is the reward of disbelievers.
        Surah II:191

you read the Koran in ARABIC??? (if so, i congratulate you.)

my daughter tells me that there, as far as she knows, are NO "neutral" English translations of the Koran. (and i've NEVER known my daughter to lie. she is the MOST honest person i know! ===> note to all: don't ask "Tunafish", "does this dress make me look FAT?" -- lol! )
