3% of hadiths talk of Jihad as inner struggle...97% of hadiths about Jihad as war

Reader comment on item: What is Jihad?
in response to reader comment: I disagree

To all the people that seem to think that Jihad, according to hadiths is about an inner struggle, the percentage of the hadith that speaks of this is clear.

The hadiths are clearly speaking of Jihad as holy war, since that is 97% of the use of the word "Jihad" in Muslim teachings.
