Why save the world, when you can rule it?
Scanned it. I agree that it has multiple definitions; Jihad can be the struggle to be a "good moslem" (lots of mozzies I know place emphasis on that) or can be "fight against the infidels".
In some Muslim countries, Jihad is used very generally and often literally as a synonym for struggle.

This shows a very different usage of the word; different from what you'd expect in Western media, although, it is not uncommon in Muslim countries.

Does treating your neighbours nicely involve not stealing their underwear off their washing line and sniffing it? Because if it does then I could never treat my neighbours nicely...
