1 In Team America there are a team of Americans trying to find out about a group of terrorists. From the clip I got the feeling that Jihad was like punching someone or like a bomb.
2 BBC said that in English Jihad means struggle or effort and means much more than the holy war. The holy war being the struggle to defend Islam. Young Muslins say that Jihad is an obligation from Allah that every Muslim must do and that cannot be ignored or rejected.Daniel Pipes believes that Jihad is a word that means the struggle against the wicked Americans and an effort to expand terrorism. David Horowitz thinks that Jihad is an orginization that are trying to become world dominators and they will take down America first. Answers.com’ definition for Jihad is 1 A crusade or struggle. 2 A muslim holy war or spiritual struggle against infields. 3 An individual’s thriving for self perfection.

the struggle to build a good muslim society
holy war: the struggle to defend Islam,with force if necessary.
