I am more offended by the RP failure. There is no indication in the backstory that islam has survived in any shape or form in EVE.

Jihad means 'effort' or 'working hard or diligently' which has nothing to do with any particular political philosophy and includes positive motives. The word has been hijacked by extremists though.

Here is an extract of its meaning.

'Contrary to common belief, the word "jihad" does not necessarily imply any violent effort, let alone "war" and such instances of extreme violence. It is a general term that can mean violent as well as peaceful actions, depending on the context in which it is used, as we shall indeed see later. Similarly, "jihad" as a generic word can be used even when the sought goals are not Islamic, i.e. in non-religious contexts. '

Come on, we both know Goonswarm isn't using the word Jihad to mean 'effort' or 'working hard or diligently' . We know they're using it with the definition that terrorists use it.

By the same token, "Third Reich" only translates to "Third State", which could mean just about any third government.

Seriously, you're an idiot as big as an idiot can be. "Terrorists" Don't use the term Jihad to state war, they use it to state a Struggle (Some could say against oppression but whatever)

2. Third Reich is against a particular group of people, not everyone, and not in the backstory.
