Jihad- means struggle, a struggle within myself: the interpretation as far as terrorism goes is perceived as a twist from the real meaning, the qur"an, basic source of how to live one"s life, law, complete revelation. god is called allah, arabic for god www. notesolution. com. the idea that allah is the same god is problematic.
