This is you: "I don't think that you will find anyone outside of western islam and the taqqiya of eastern islam claiming that jihad is anything other than physical war against the infidel. I believe you will find that this very strained interpretation of some kind of "inner struggle" is an invention of the Ahmadi (choose spelling) sect in the latter nineteenth century. And, btw, all sects of islam, to my knowledge consider the ahmadi to be apostates to the "true" religion. Please provide Quranic or Hadithic justification for this idea of jihad being other than war for allah. A major Sunni or Shia fiqh will also suffice so long as it is verifiable online"
