Jihad is war for Allah - it means that they are going to war to fight for their faiths, for their God, for their beliefs. War against Jihad is fighting against the people who are waging war in the name of faith - this is happening because there are many "Jihads" that aren't really "legally Jihad", it means that the declared war did not enough religious reasons to back it up. There was no threat on the faith so proclaiming Jihad was wrong.

Jihad is not war for Allah. Jihad means striving, striving to make ourselves better, strive to help orphans, strive to help society, etc.

Most of the taliban groups and the other terrorist is an islam...The word jihad would mean struggle making now the duty for them to fight for....The war against Jihad would mean that the war is castigating the deviant behavior of the islam..Thus, the war is more on the cultural unpleasantness of the islam people...

So they are fighting a war for a good cause ? Is it ? In that case why do they have to kill innocent people.

killing innocent people would be the deviant part of that obligation...the cause for fighting against it is worthy if the reason realy is to stop these terroristic act and if it is carried out in good faith not taited with any personal intent such as making show off to the people.

Well firstly, the war is not termed "War against Jihad" it is termed "War against Terrorism". Secondly, there is no war against terrorism, it is only the war of interests. America has used the Talibans and Alqaida to destroy Rusia. And when it succeeded in its agenda it wanted to get rid of the Jihadis. This war against terrorism has given America the access to Oil fields in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's the main cause of this war. There is no doubt, the Jihadis are using unfair means and they are killing inocent people, but what is America doing. It is also killing Inocent people, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. thus there is no such thing as war agianst terrorism, it just the war of interests, which the Muslims are not understanding

I'm not sure what exactly it means but does war really make sense? I mean we are all fighting for "our god" or what each religious group views as god. Either way, we all want religious freedom or we want our god to be the only god. That seems a little hypocritical to me. Most religions state to except tothers. By waging war on other people that don't have the same views as us is to go against most religions. It doesn't matter what the word means or who they really are, what matters is that we are all fighting for the same thing, once people truely understand that maybe we will finally stop fighting pointless wars. We can focus on saving lives instead of killing them.

I don't agree with the fact that everyone are fighting a war for a religious supremacy.I find only most Muslims are wagging war against people from all community.Are they trying to establish the concept of One God in this World.I don't understand why they do such things,with so many God why cant they live peacefully.
