As far as the word Jihad is concerned there is a misconception not only among the Non-Muslims, but also among some Muslims. What most people think is that any war fought by any Muslim for any reason, whether it be for his personal gains, whether it be for political gains, whether it be for language or whether it be for colour, it is called as Jihad. Jihad does not mean any war fought by any Muslim; Jihad comes from Arabic word “Jahada” which means to strive to struggle; so Jihad basically means to strive or struggle.
In Islamic context it means to strive against one’s own evil inclinations, it also means to strive to make the society better, it even includes striving in the battlefield to fight in self-defense and it also means to fight against oppression and tyranny. Therefore, it means to strive or struggle.
“colour”

Go and find another site troll.
“Therefore, it means to strive or struggle.”
Ohhh...I thought it meant to fly planes into buildings to kill 3000 innocent civilians. Your way sounds much nicer. See ya.
Thank you for the very detailed response I was misinformed.
“In Islamic context it means to strive against one’s own evil inclinations”
yeah, right. Like these pig swivers strive to behead infidels,become homicide bombers, fly planes into buildings and stone women to death for being raped or dating a boy who is not a muzzie. All allowed and encouraged by the unholy dungbook, the koran. I agree with Manc
