Jihad is the term most wrongly interpreted & understood by not only non-muslims but muslims also. Media is playing important role to portray the wrong meaning. Jihad which means 'to strive & struggle', is misunderstood as holy war. Every muslim is 'Jihadi', because they struggle & strive in way of Almighty. Quran says 'The people are in sheer darkness, except those who believe in Me & do good deeds, & preach justice & be tolerant'. Being tolerant is one of the biggest forms of 'Jihad' because one has to struggle against his ownself.
James, the current jihad is totally opposite to your saying, 'to strive & struggle' means strive and struggle for others blood and preach hatered and not be tolerant

Mr. James -- Don't waste your time. Media, Western Countries & other fanatics have already done their job. Tremendous negative impression of ISLAM. No use explaining to likes of 'netinetineti'.
kazi, tell me aren't these jihadis doing opposite to James saying i.e 'to strive & struggle' means strive and struggle for others blood and preach hatered and not be tolerant
