[THE word "jihad" is the most misunderstood term in Islam, said a Malaysian professor of law at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Prof. Rohimi Shapiee, member of the faculty of law at the UKM, said the word "jihad" has been misused and as a result, many people associate it with war and terrorism.]
[Jihad, he added, is a struggle both to improve and expand Islam, “but not necessarily through violent means.”
"The greater Jihad is an exertion in Allah's path through one’s heart. The use of sword or the 'jihad of the sword’ is actually considered as the ‘lesser Jihad'," the professor said.
For him, referring "jihad" as the "holy war" is "inaccurate."]

Islam is inherently blasphemous and unholy, thus jihad is not a "holy war" regardless of how Allah's slaves spin it.
