Mr. Pipes ... did not mention the meaning of the word Jihad in Arabic . The word Jihad comes from a three letters Arabic word wich it is ( جهد JUHD ) in English it means EFFORT . So Jihad means : Any effort done in the daily life in any palce or any time . And Jihad in ISLAM is : any good effort you did in your life to have GODs blessing such as Fasting, Praing or Giving Charity to prevent your self from commiting bad deeds and fighting it with good deeds and that called ( جهاد النفس Jihad Al.Nafs) and it is in the first place .

Further ... IT IS EVERY HUMAN RIGHT TO DEFEND FOR HIM SELF & HIS HOME & AND HIS LAND ,FAMILY , SOIL , FARMS , WEALTH & EVEN OIL , FROM THE ENEMIES , RAPERS , KILLERS & THEFTS . DONT YOU THINK SO ??
