The term ‘jihad’ is found in the religious texts of Islam, and is mentioned as being one of the most praiseworthy acts any true believer in God will participate in. Therefore, every Muslim believes in jihad as something positive. Yet, its connotations and implications in the minds of many non-Muslims are all evil. The term will not go away, therefore it is the duty of Muslims (a jihad in its own right!) to clarify what this term really means.
