Answer 1

It is not true. Jihad is important for both men and women. There are two types of Jihad. Self Jihad that means struggling to obey God commands and striving to get His satisfaction and blessings. The other type of Jihad is military Jihad that is in the early centuries was only withing men and supported by women for medical service and other social requirements.

Answer 2

When most Non-Muslims refer to Jihad, they are talking about the Lesser Jihad, which is to say military action on behalf of the Umma or Islamic Nation. The reason that women do not actively participate in this more violent form of Jihad is simply cultural misogyny that is dominant in most Muslim-majority countries and most Islamic communities. There have been increasing pushes towards gender equality, however, in acts of violent Jihad. For example, about 5% of Palestinian suicide bombers in the Second Intifada were women. However, in more traditional paramilitaries like ISIL, the cultural view of male superiority is more difficult to overcome than suicide bombing where it is clear that a woman can confer strategic advantages (such as hiding a bomb as a "pregnancy bump").

Does every muslim compete in jihad?

First, we need to define 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. It is the Lesser Jihad which is often cast as a Holy War.Now. the term "compete in jihad" does not make sense. If the question is asking if every Muslim participates in jihad, the answer is "No"; there is no group of people who uniformly do one set of things. However, most Muslims try to participate in jihad, but involvement in Greater Jihad (self-reflection) is far more common than Lesser Jihad (striving to change the world), and involvement in peaceful Lesser Jihad (advocacy and protests) is far more common than violent Lesser Jihad (holy war).
