GOD & JEHAD

How is it that the word of God is so ambiguous, misleading and confusing even to most of the followers of religion. Was God lacking in communication skills that he could'nt articulate well. Probably He himself was scared of the word Jehad. Actually Jehad and its equivalents exist in all other religions, which means fighting internal enemies like anger, jealous, greed, desire etc. etc., so that all the muck is eliminated from the system & one's divinity is revealed. Only theologians and spiritualists can understand.
