you know when your country asks you to join the army, to be honuredby serving your country, defending its safety against enemies? giving it dignity? this is jihad:) you don't say your country teaches you violence!! but in real islamic days.. our country was islam..muslims used to protect it and be protected by it.. using rules even better than what the UN is putting for nations now!!

I know Jijad as a holy war and I joined this discussion to fully understand why there is such thing as Jihad from the answers of those who will respond on this discussion.

The meaning of the word Islam is Love and Muslims must obey to God. A Jihad, more than a war against others, it is an eternal war, that the one has with his/her tendency to sin. So, it is not a violence against the other, but, first, a war against our own will, because a Muslim must surrender completely to God, and a war against those who may try to attack god (on that case, a real war).
