    Doesn’t it seem that in context, jihad can still mean holy war? It seems the vast majority of jihadists are religious fanatics.

    Do Muslims refer to difficult homework as a jihad? Do Muslims refer to living in poverty as a jihad? I’ve only ever seen it used in connection with a holy war, but I’m not Muslim so maybe I’m just fed propaganda and I’m ignorant of the true use.
