God did. Jihad means, simply, to strive to establish good, over evil. It can take many forms: writing, speaking, voting, etc. It can also take the form of fighting; however, it can never take the form of terrorism. God established these things not only for the Muslims. He established it even in the Bible. But terrorism is something different completely. Terrorism is not jihad because jihad is only for just causes and in just ways.
Never. Refer to questions below.

No, never. Jihad has nothing to do with terrorism, except of fighting against them. Terrorism is attacking the civilians and terrifying them. The Jihad, which is thought to be war, is standing before them (i.e. terrorists) and fighting against them. This is the small jihad. There is also a jihad which is called "the big jihad". And that is struggle to do right and good things and protecting yourself from bad. The terrorism which is done under the name of Islam is a plan of destroying Muslims. If a Christian kills someone, no one says that it is because of Christianity. Why? Because Christianity doesn't teach that. Similarly, Islam also doesn't teach to kill an innocent. Islam is not responsible for what is done against its teachings. ____________________________________________________________ No. Jihad means struggle in English. Every human struggles in his/her life for living, securing good job, raising children, getting higher qualifications, ... , in addition to struggling to do right and say right and not to do anything against God satisfaction and blessings. However, terrorism is to attack civilians and terrifying them that is something condemned in Islam.
Jihad literally means to struggle. It can be a physical struggle, a spiritual struggle, or just a struggle to pay the bills. There is a Hadith that says the "The greatest jihadis to speak the word of truth to a tyrant."Terrorism has no place in Islam. It is the murder and persecution of innocents, and that is strictly forbidden in Islam
