= Beginning of the jihad = Jihad is a religious duty for Muslims. The jihad originated from the teaching of Prophet Muhammad in the spreading of Islamic religion and Islam across the globe. His teachings were written in the holy Koran and did not become accepted. The ancient role created the jihad so they could defend themselves against non Muslims. Muhammad told Arabs if they help him fight against Christens and Jews that they will be greatly rewarded in heaven. The jihad was formed to go against others who try to put a stop to Islamic spreading. The jihad allowed Islam to become the most acceptable traditional religion through the Arab world.

= Jihads today = Jihad has been a major political force in the 20th century and extends its potential threat into the 21st century. The 20th century has witnessed examples of jihad used as a genocide against people who do not believe in the faith. The jihads were used by Muslims and their allies to mobilize the political and economic resources of the Muslim world against the western civilization and democracy.

= Examples of jihad = One of the biggest forms of jihad is the jihad of self discipline. Self discipline is controlling your own thought and actions. Selfishness and anger are the biggest problems of the internal jihad. The concept of jihad has been stolen by many different groups to justify different forms of violence. Sanctioned military jihad include the Muslims defense battles.

= Warfare and violent groups = The Muslim brotherhood was founded in 1928 by an elementary school teacher. He based his ideas on Islam and focused on a religious observant way of life. The Muslim brother hood was accepted in Egypt. Nasser The president of Egypt finally banned them from Egypt and signed a agreement with Jerusalem. The brother hood was very mad and upset so they tried to assassinate the president five times but failed. They killed his successor Anwar-a-Sadat for agreeing with Zionist ideas. Another group called the Fedaiyan originated in Iran and they fought against the U.S. and Britain. They where an underground group of assassins who killed anyone that was anti Islam.
