Muslims use the word Jihad to describe three different kinds of struggle: A believer's internal struggle to live out the Muslim faith as well as possible. The struggle to build a good Muslim society. Holy war: the struggle to defend Islam, with force if necessary.

Only the last one has negative connotations to a westerner.
