Jihad as "struggle" is divided into two types, the greater Jihad and the lesser Jihad. The greater Jihad is the internal struggle against [[sin]] and temptation and to make one's self a better Muslim. The lesser Jihad is the physical conflict against those who threaten the Muslim way of life. Many non-fundamentalist followers of Islam do not condone the use of jihad as a manner of securing converts.

Jihad in Islamic thought and practice possesses a range of meanings, with Muslim radicals and [[Islamofascist]] [[terrorist]]s focusing on [[terroristic tactics]] via the physical, violent form of struggle to resist what they see as cultural, economic, military, and political assaults from outside the ummah and oppression and injustice within.

{{Quoteboc|[T]he truth is that Islam is not the name of a ‘Religion’, nor is ‘Muslim’ the title of a ‘Nation’. In reality Islam is a revolutionary ideology and programme which seeks to alter the social order of the whole world and rebuild it in conformity with its own tenets and ideals. ‘Muslim’ is the title of that International Revolutionary Party organized by Islam to carry into effect its revolutionary programme. And ‘Jihād’ refers to that revolutionary struggle and utmost exertion which the Islamic Party brings into play to achieve
this objective.}}
A ''jihadi'' is a person, usually male, who participates in ''jihad''. However, during the [[Obama administration]] and the tenures of [[Hillary Clinton]] and [[John Kerry]] at the [[State Department]], ''jihadis'' in [[Syria]] and [[Libya]] were referred to in fake news stories by [[mainstream news]] organizations and government press offices as "regime opposition."
