What Jihad Is.

Assalamua'laikum w.b.t,

Before we see what it is, let's see what it is not:

1. Jihad is not revenge.
2. Jihad is not terrorism.
3. Jihad is not just done by force and violence only.
4. Jihad is not an outburst of emotions without rationality.
5. Jihad is not an excuse but an obligation.
6. Jihad is not obliged to a specific group within the muslim ummah, but to all.

What Jihad is:

1. A struggle to uphold good and justice in the name of Allah Taa'la.
2. An internal struggle between temptations and obligations.

Finally I ask ;

1. Against Israel and corrupted regimes, what other choices do we have other than force and violence to stop them from waging war and killing children?
2. Were all the protests, demos, petitions, legal suits, posters and etc able to prevent the merciless killings of our people?
3. How am I supposed NOT to have an outburst of emotions when I see all of this?
4. How is justice going to prevail?

Somebody please answer my questions.
