I'd like to share my knowledge but i don't know if it is objective or not according to the Islamic faith and Muslim culture. At Fourth (4th) year High School, in my World History class, Jihad is termed to be a Holy War for Muslim and Crusade is termed as a Holy War for Christians, thus IMO, in history or the old translation due to the events of war it was deemed to be. When I was in First (1st) year College, as part of my Curriculum with the study of World Religions, according to the Islamic Faith, Jihad is a struggle within oneself that is fought against evil.
