It is called the Jihad. This is from:

  1. Islam An individual's striving for spiritual self-perfection.

  2. Islam A Muslim holy war or spiritual struggle against infidels.

  3. A crusade or struggle: "The war against smoking is turning into a jihad against people who smoke" (Fortune).


[Arabic jihād, from jahada, to strive; see ghd in Semitic roots.]
