Jihad was Mohammed's greatest invention. It made him successful. Jihad is a misunderstood
word. Most jihad is done with money and persuasion, not violence. It is jihad
that fills Washington DC with money to buy influence. It is jihad that causes
our textbooks in our schools to never mention anything negative about Islam.
Jihad is surely one of the more famous Arabic words. Jihad does not mean holy
war, although it includes holy war. Jihad actually means struggle, which is a
much better way to see it because jihad includes much more than war with violence.
Jihad can be done with the sword, the mouth, the pen and with money. The Koran
calls jihad-- fighting in Allah's cause.More here: http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/jihad/
