Please I usually ponder on this. What's the difference between jihad and terrorism? My question is not to insult, malign any religion or anyone, just for knowledge sake.

Thank you for your contributions

A very Good question. Jihad Means war war against anything That is against Islam it can be against yourself, Family or society as Long as This people or things are against Islam you Can Jihad them. How do you carry out Jihad? Exactly how you Practice war with Different strategies, With Mouth, Strenght, Sword or Guns, the goal is to terminate the enemies Of Islam. Now while doing this There will be casualties and Those who ain't Muslims or don't support Islam will be the Casualties and to Them that is Terrorrism. As a Muslim I will say this Jihad in this Generation and Terrorism carried out by Extremists Muslims, Muslims call it Jihad while NonMuslims Call it terrorism it's just like the Crusade that the Christian's carried out in the dark Ages that's exactly what Jihad means but Changes where made in the Teachings of christianity and Bible thus washing down The extremism but in Islam Nothing was changed That same teachings That same book that same system is still active, in this 21st Century lot of Islamic Scholars are Trying to Interpret The Quran in a Less Brutal Manner since a Promise has already been made that The Quran can never be changed That's the Only option. My Point here is it's all The same thing as Long as the perpetrators are doing in the name of God. The difference between an Extreme muslims and a moderate is The Later won't participate in Jihad but absolutely Agrees with it.

Jihad is Only war in Islam.

Terrorism is act of creating terror(violence) or using unlawful means for political gain.

Modern day Jihad is a form of terrorism, although it's not limited to Islam as certain Christains also use unlawful means to try to influence the public for political gains.

Terrorism is the approach used by Jihadist to fight Jihad.

So na bread and butter relationship.

hmmm

They are the same.

The modification of bible erase all the violent act

That's why Quran needs to be modified/edited in other to stop the so called Jihad which is instead an act of terrorism.

When I see you people's definition of jihad and misunderstanding of some Islamic act, I always laugh.
I keep reinstating it that jihad isn't what the media put it to be.
Holy Prophet was reported to said "The best Jihad is the word of Justice in front of the oppressive sultan(ruler)" cited by Ibn Nuhaas andd narrated by Ibn Habban


Jihad lingually means EFFORT/STRUGGLE not brutal war you all gave it.
That's why my brother MelesZenawi/Juliusmalema will always ask not to declare fatwa on him . I know he sees fatwa as death sentence which is not. It's Islamic stands on an UNCLEAR ISSUE.


Back to jihad (striving), we have 3 forms.
Jihad Jihad against Satan; This is preaching and calling to Islam. And we read in the Qur'an 2 V:256 that "There is no compulsion in religion, the right direction is clearly distinguished from the wrong."

Another form is jihad against oneself:
Meaning striving to be a better Muslim. This is to quit smoking, fornication and adultery, drinking alcohol, not observation 5 daily solat, being good to friends and family (joining family ties) and lots.


The third form of jihad is against an open enemy. THOSE WHO ALSO WAGE WAR AGAINST YOU.
Self-defense

So how you all sees jihad as SENSELESS AND INDEFINITE KILLING SPRAY OF HUMAN like that of Terrorists The Holy Prophet warn us against is not it.

Islam values life that's why we read in the Qur'an 5:32 that “Whoever kills an innocent life, it is as if he has killed all of humanity. And whoever saves one life, it is as if he has saved all of humanity”

Jihad is different from Terrorism.
You only sees it similar Because you do not know the real meaning of Jihad.

The holy Prophet warn us strictly about Terrorism, I once posted the say(Hadith) here. I'll Check my long post when I'm less busy and put it here.

They're extremists who goes beyond bound and only sees themselves as pious.

That's why they kills and maim any Muslim who isn't their member

Shut up you charlatan. don't put mouth in what you don't know. jihad and terrorism are same thing in Islam.

Fahdiga1, you shall know the truth and shall set you free.

That's the truth and you have no other option than to take it.

RICE AND RICE, JIHAD/TERRORISM

ThatFairGuy1:

I meant holy war.

To the west, jihad means terrorism
To the Christians, jihad means terrorism
To the Muslims, jihad is a way of life, a tradition..

what's the difference between penis and dick

You would not understand with the two words.
You would have asked for the difference between Terrorism, Jihad and Islam.
You cant explain the two words without adding Islam. They are synonymous. Just remove any of them and replace with any of them they mean same/

Jihad is 'holy' terrorism.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, I have been sent with the shortest expressions bearing the widest meanings, and I have been made victorious with terror (cast in the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the world were brought to me and put in my hand.. (sahih Bukhari 4:52:220)

Jihad=Terrorism.

Non.

They are both synonyms

What does it when you don't Condemn Something Done by your own??

Don't you think you 're terrorizing that guy by your choice of reply. I think you rude!

You are displaying your ignorance as usual for all to see...

When was the Crusades? What was the Crusades?

Did the historical occurrence predate the collation of established Bible canon?

Why cant you spare a little effort to update yourself instead of relying on mendacious accounts fed to you by uneducated imams?

MACBAN HAS THE TWO:-
RUGA, ISLAMISATION, FULANISATION AND ANARCHY IS JIHAD.
FULANI HERDSMEN ARE TERRORISTS.

Jihad is Terrorism simple.

Even though Muslims use Taqiya to divide Jihad into different part, it doesn't stop the fact that there is militant jihad which is equal to terrorism.
