Jihad - the 'foundation' upon which the 'pillars' of Islam are built ...

There are two types of Jihad, lesser Jihad and Greater Jihad.

As I have asked before - show me evidence from Quran of the existance of the so-called 'Greater Jihad'.

Personally, I have only been able to find [1] sort of Jihad in the Quran - that which is 'in the way of Allah' - that which is intended to 'strike fear in the hearts of unbelievers' - that which can only be described as 'offensive' & 'violent' - there is no Greater Jihad - there is only violent - offensive - oppressive JIHAD IN THE WAY OF ALLAH.
