Jihad for Love

Jihad: 1-any vigorous, emotional crusade for an idea or principle, for love.
2-a holy war undertaken as a sacred duty by Muslims.
One day I was listening to a radio program, and unfortunately I came at the tail end of it, so all I heard the speaker say was that "why could I not be a Jihadi for love?"
Earlier on, I had heard a couple of sentences, how he had training in Jihad to be a terrorist and had done what was demanded of him, but in the midst of everything, it came to him, that if he has to fight a war, to save the world, why should he not call himself a Jihadi who fights the war of love?
And his battle will be Jihad for Love.
Is this the kind of battle all of us want to fight? Is this the kind of mindset we would like anyone and everyone to have? This statement is very profound, because all the time the terminology, terror, terrorist, terrorism, is being shot in our environment, and we do know that in today's age, love and unconditional love is the need of the earth. So let us all be Jihadis for love.
