Jjihad in theory or jihad in practice?

Personally I don't care what jihad means. I'm more concerned with what jihad does. Show me the schools, the literature, the art, the advancement of ideas that this jihad has been responsible for and I'll concede that it means more than the 'Islamism at any cost.'
