Why does Islam have a jihad?

Simply put, Jihad exists in Islam because the Qur'an demands it. However, it should be noted that there are two forms of jihad. One is an internal struggle to be true and faithful to Islam amidst all of the struggles and difficulties that the world presents. The second is the command to rise militarily in defense of Islam when Muslims are under attack, especially from non-Muslims. This second form of jihad is popularly considered the "holy war" type of jihad.

What is the US role in the Sunni and Shiite Conflict?

No. The Sunni-Shiite Divide occurred in the 600s C.E., over 800 years before Colombus even discovered America. There are Muslims that claim that the United States is taking activities designed to keep the Sunnis and Shiites from reconciling, but even if it were true, this would not make the United States in anyway responsible for the original split and the majority of Sunni-Shiite animosity and grievances. This is false, though, since Sunni and Shiite Muslims have actually been brought together politically by the United States both domestically and in Iraqi politics. The United States has never supported a country or an army because it is Sunni or Shiite and even its detractors have noted that the United States supported Shiite Iran (under the Shah), Sunni Iraq (under Saddam Hussein), Wahhabi Saudi Arabia, and Israel all for primarily strategic reasons.

What does jihad mean and who were the warring fractions?

There are two questions here:1) What is a Jihad?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.2) Who were the Warring Factions?If this is referring to the original jihads, these were the wars by Meccans, lead by the Polytheistic Qoreish Tribe against the Medinan Confederacy of Muslims and other tribes (both Polytheists and Jews). As time has gone on there have been innumerable jihads against numerous enemies. In the Middle Ages and up to the modern day (like in the Iran-Iraq War) Muslims will even declare jihad against other Muslims if it suits them politically.

When is military jihad permitted?

Military jihad is traditionally permitted in Islam under specific circumstances, primarily for self-defense, to protect the oppressed, or to restore justice. It is often framed within the context of responding to aggression or persecution against Muslims. Additionally, it requires the declaration by a legitimate authority and must adhere to ethical guidelines, such as avoiding harm to non-combatants. Importantly, interpretations of jihad can vary widely among different scholars and communities.

Did God sanctify jihad?

According to Islam, Jihad is sanctified by God, provided that it is performed in accordance with the requirements stated in the Shari'a.

What is an example of a good Jihad?

Jihad, that means in English striving or struggleing, is of two types:self Jihad (or oneself struggle and is called the greatest or greater Jihad), andmilitary Jihad (or struggle with others and is called the smallest or lesser Jihad)Regarding lesser (or Military ) Jihad, it is licit only in two cases:First: to defend home land and home people against any invaders.Second: to provide help and support to other people who are oppressed and unable to practice their own will and freedom of choice.Self Jihad is that any Muslim should practice Jihad or self struggle to avoid doing wrong deeds and/or committing sins that are forbidden by Islam and by his community. It is also doing good things that Allah wants you to do, such as following the morals of Quran and prophet Muhammad (PBUH), reciting the Quran, helping the poor, striving to fulfil your family requirements, learning and studying useful sciences and arts, etc.In both cases, Muslims (as in all other faiths) are commanded, by their religion, to be fair and just. They are forbidden; by Quran and prophet Muhammad teachings; to kill a woman, child, or an old man or any civilian. They are commanded not to be excessive in using force and not to terrify civilians. They are forbidden from spoiling the nature, cutting a tree, or polluting/poisoning air or water.
