Is it? There isn't any implied derogatory meaning, jihad just means struggle.
Though I guess some people think of jihad as Islam fighting against non-Islamics, I never really thought of it that way when it's used in threads.
But even if you put in a military connotation, is it negative against Islam, or just an appropriation of the word?
