Other Muslims will say that ''jihad'' is not physical at all, but refers instead to a personal struggle that every Muslim must engage in continually against sin and the temptations thereto.

In technicality, there are two forms of Jihad. The greater Jihad, which is the internal struggle within a person against sin, and the lesser Jihad, physical war against the infidel. The lesser jihad is more widely known, but in truth only practiced by militant fanatics.

Those who make that distinction state that what they call the "lesser jihad" is practiced only by fanatical holders to Islam. A ''fanatic'' is one who holds to a set of beliefs uncritically--that is, without being willing to judge them. Since the [[World Trade Center incident]], a number of Muslims ''have'' begun a critical analysis of Muslim doctrine (both verbal and written) and the place of Islam in the civilized world. Whether those voices can find sufficent logical support in the written texts that define Islam is debatable.
In the religion of [[Yevon]], Sin is an avatar of the misdeeds of man. Yevonites believe that Sin will come in the form of a great beast to strike down civilization for an over-reliance on machines.
