Jihad

=Jihad= Jihad in Arabic means struggle. Jihad is the Islamic view on martyrdom. They say if you die fighting to protect your religion you shall go to heaven. Just like the Christian Crusaders in Martyrdom these people will do anything to protect their religion including dying. The big difference between the two is that jihad is still happening a lot. In Iraq for instance the fight to protect the religion is going now.

Jihad Fashion
Things done in a Jihad fashion are typically very violent and involve warfare. This is like the Christian crusades back in the eleventh century. This is the extremists way of doing this. This warfare is considered a holy war because they are doing it because of religious reasons.

Two Views on Jihad
The idea of Jihad was written in the Koran 164 times. It stated that if you die fighting for your religion you shall go to heaven. This interpreted in two different ways one is the extremist way of looking at it and it is the warfare. The fighting to protect your religion, which is what is in the Iraqis heads. The other way of looking at Jihad is the less violent way, it is the idea of fighting the inner battle, making yourself devoted to Islam.
