Jihad is a tenet of Islam and a religious duty to strive in the way of God. There are two general ways to do this, the Greater Jihad and the Lesser Jihad. The Greater Jihad is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously; this kind of jihad should be entirely peaceful. The Lesser Jihad refers to conflicts and confrontations between Muslims and Non-Muslims or other Muslims, which often erupt in war, but can also be performed through non-violent protests, debate, and advocacy.

Muslims only fight if they believe it is in the cause of God. This is known as Jihad - striving, personal or in war.

Instead of the various Arabian Bedouins attacking and raiding from each other they would join together and begin to attack and raid the Non-Arab Levantines (in the Byzantine Empire) and the Non-Arab Persians (in the Sassanid Empire). The raids also became more formalized as holy wars or jihads against the Non-Muslim adversaries, as opposed to being a purely economic activity as it was before.
Why did Osama bin Laden run a plane into a building?
To completely answer it you will have to go farther back but because I'm doing biology homework and typing this I'll make it short. Basically it all started when Russia, then the Soviet Union was occupying Afghanistan. Because Afghanistan is such a religious country they did not like the idea that a Communist nation was ruling an Islamic nation. So of course a politician saw on CNN one night that Afghanistan did not like the presence of this party, a man by the name a Charlie Wilson, Wilson just a small Texas Playboy politician had to do something.We gave what was called the Jihads weapons to defeat the Russians. But after the war was over we just got up and left. No aid, No military support just old AK-47's and some land mines. So obviously the jihads were angry, completely opposing the western ways of life, They struck back with force in 2001. That's the shortened version I have for you.

How where slaves affected by Muhammad's life?
Muhammad began to take slaves after he moved to Medina, and had power.Slaves were usually taken in raids on nearby Arab tribes, or war, either through offensive or defensive actions. Islam allows the taking of slaves as "booty", or reward for fighting. This has led to numerous "jihads" by Muslim states and tribes to attack other non-Muslim groups and obtain slaves. Islamic jurisprudence laid down regulations for the proper treatment of slaves. However, abuses have occurred throughout history.
