It   lays down strict rules of combat which include prohibitions against harming   civilians and against destroying crops, trees and livestock. As Muslims see   it, injustice would be triumphant in the world if good men were not prepared   to risk their lives in a righteous cause. The Qur'an says:Fight in the cause of God against those  who fight you, but do not transgress limits. God does not love transgressors. If they seek peace, then seek you peace. And trust in God for He is the One that heareth and knoweth all things.    Al-Quran 2:190 & 8:61           War, therefore, is the last resort, and is subject to         the rigorous conditions laid down by the sacred law. The term Jihad literally         means 'struggle',   and Muslims believe that there are two kinds of Jihad. The other 'Jihad' is         the inner struggle which everyone wages against egotistic desires, for         the sake of   attaining inner peace.</blockquote>
