Hijacking Jihad
from News Beat Hosted by Morey Creative Studios
Over the last two decades, the term "Jihad" has exclusively been defined as a holy war perpetrated by extremists. As such, when the average American hears the term "Jihad," they conflate Islam with terror. Although the term has been hijacked by extremists, many Muslims in the US and around world don't recognize Jihad's contemporary application. For these Muslims, the term, which literally translates to "struggle," is a personal struggle, or a mission. For example, someone's "Jihad" could be giving up smoking or to strive to be a better neighbor, friend, husband, or wife.
