A controversial Islamic practice which, contrary to popular belief, does not strictly refer to holy war, but taken literally means “to struggle”. In the Qu’ran it refers to an internal struggle inside everyone between the desire to enjoy the pleasures of this world, or to seek God’s will. When an Islamic cleric declares “It is the duty of all true Muslims to wage Jihad against the infidel”, what he most often means is “it is the duty of all true Muslims to struggle against the ways, practices, ethics and morals of the infidel”. In modern times this usually means that Muslim youth need to struggle against the West’s commercialization and perversion of certain subjects, such as sex for example. They’re calling they’re followers to boycott Western movies that show and promote indecent exposure, to boycott CD’s which promote and un-Islamic way of life, (usually gangsta rap, rock and roll and pop) and they encourage their ladies to wear the hajaff or beka out of modesty and so as not to lead Muslim gentlemen into temptation and impure thoughts.

Jihad, widely but perhaps loosely translated as 'struggle', a religious word that on a personal level is a spiritual struggle on a small-scale eveyday matter, the Jihad results in a form of abstinence, so to place a Jihad on selling drugs, is to recognise the immorality of the action, remind oneself not to sell drugs, or abstain from selling drugs if one already does so.
To rid yourself from an evil as such.
Religious Extremists might, I suppose, take the 'ridance of an evil' to such levels as a war on Infidels/corrupt Western civilisation but I have never met a Fundamentalist Muslim Extremist and so would not know.
I put a Jihad on Racists, I will avoid them and rid myself of racist thoughts or ideas.

I put a Jihad on Kentucky Fried chicken

My Dad thought it would be best to put a Jihad on my Religious Extremist Boyfriend, hence him not being allowed in our house.

I put a Jihad on farts.

Jihad literally means "to struggle." In the military sense it is meant in the context, "to struggle against oppression." Jihad is therefore an act to liberate people from the oppression of tyrants. Jihad is not illegal acts of terror against innocent people.

When tabloid journalism and fanatic regimes mistakenly inform the masses that Jihad is "to commit illegal acts of terror," they are revealing their ignorance, the lack of their research, and the extent of their unprofessional & deceitful approach to the subject.
Many Muslums believe that there is a Jihad against the United States, Globalization, etc.
