Alas, Christians had an equivalent of the Jihad. It was called a Crusade. They had a nasty tendancy to go wrong: either defeated by the Muslims or turning against other Christians. Only the First against the Muslims (once it gave up a seige of Constantinople and got back on track), and the one against the Baltic Pagans, before it turned against Holy Russia came off at all well.

Well, the Muslim Jihad will come out about as well as the failed crusades.
