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. The lesser Jihad is the physical war against those who threaten the Muslim way of life.  Many followers of Islam do not condone the use of jihad as a manner of securing converts.
