Islam promotes jihad to spread Islam by the sword...
The word Jihad stems from an Arabic word which means to strive. Other related words include effort, labor and fatigue. Essentially Jihad is an effort to practice religion in the face of oppression and persecution. The effort may come in fighting the evil in your own heart, or in standing up to a dictator. Military effort is included as an option, but as a last resort and not to spread Islam by the sword.
