Gee, I thought it meant "struggle"...but with whom?

Don't mistake us as ignorant, sir.

Although we are new to this Islamic way of thought, don't insult our intelligence with rhetoric.

"Jihad" also means "struggle". It has a variety of meanings. It depends on how you use it.

When my enemies -- who seek to take off my head -- scream "Jihad" under the same breath as "death to America", I think the message is clear -- no matter what lingo you wanna tag on it!

If you have any interest in American history, look at what happened to the Japanese/Chinese Americans -- especially in California -- back in WW2. Take a lesson from it. You may have to undergo the same treatment if you people don't shut up.
