I know that Jihad is like a Call to Arms with an anger problem, but I get the feeling there's more to it then that. Can anybody tell me about Jihad? (Note: I am just curious)

Jihad is a holy quest, called to unite all Muslims to a singular cause. That cause is most often liberating places, rarely attacking them. It could use some anger management psichyatrists, and a few US army nutcases with machine guns to kill them down.

Lesser jihad is what Bozo of Bones says. Greater jihad is to be at peace with yourself.
If I remember that RS GCSE correctly.

To most muslims it simply means a struggle, typically spiritual in nature, like a personal struggle to better ones self.
Here is a site with an in-depth perspective: Jihad Quote:

Jihad is as old as the crusades. It's a "holy quest", whatever that means. In my book it's just an ordinairy vendetta.

Jihad is when my friend sticks a plasma grenade to himself in Halo and runs toward you screaming, "FOR ALLAH!"
:mrgreen: Sorry, couldn't resist. Too funny. Pardon this interruption. You may now view your regularly scheduled topic.

Johnny did you just ignore the entirety of Chewbacca's post? Or just trying to incite harsh comments in your own direction? Jihad basically means to make things better. Not the meaning applied to it by the media.
