Jihad is an "Islamic war on the western world"

an "Islamic war on the western world" Jihad is actually a verb that means “struggle or strive”, and is not an “Islamic war on the western world”. A person can have a religious jihad, or a family jihad, but it may or may not include violence against non-Muslims. We can compare it to the term “crusade”, which in some cases Muslims consider it as Western violence against Islam, but it is more often used as a metaphorical struggle, such as “a crusade against drugs” for example.
