The term "jihad" traditionally refers to a struggle or effort in the path of Islam, but in the context of the Cold War, some groups interpreted it as a struggle against communism, which they viewed as an ideology opposed to Islamic values. This interpretation was notably evident in Afghanistan during the 1980s, where mujahideen fighters received support from various nations, including the United States, to combat Soviet forces. While the fight against communism was framed by some as a jihad, it was primarily a geopolitical struggle that involved complex local, regional, and international dynamics.
