      I’ve always put ‘jihad’ as the equivalent of ‘crusade’ in that it could be used to mean ‘Something you’re striving for very strongly’ OR ‘armed struggle’. But I’m no Muslim, nor particularly well-educated in Islamic theology.

        Yeah, sorry to the other replier, but that is the more popular form. And that Jihad was so bloody that it outlawed a good chunk of technology.
