You know the word JIHAD is very similar to the word CRUSADE. These are both words we used when we kicked the crap out of each other in 800 AD and 1200 AD and 1950 AD...the fact of the mater is that of course the word Jihad does not mean blowing up people in an office building, but in our mind it does. Much in the same way that Bush came out and said this was a Crusade against terror, it was retracted because Muslims equate that word to the Saxons’ murder of men, women and children. However, I think we can start equating the word Jihad with a internal moral struggle (as it is referred to in the Qur'an) when Muslims start equating Crusades with church evangelicals.
