I'm noticing people using Jihad in non-religious contexts like
" Nancy Grace was again on her personal jihad in her interview yesterday..."
or
" The people who are elimanating trans fat in resturaunts are just on their personal jihad, next they will try to ban sugar!"
I'm wondering if anyone else noticed this LOL.

LOL!! The words "Nancy Grace" and "Jihad" both in the same sentence!? Wow, what an odd combination!! :)
It's like using "O.J." and "innocent" in the same sentence...
What is this world coming to... ?

Yes, and so what? A word frequently used in the media often becomes vernacular. During World War Two a beachhead was an amphibious landing. People started using the word to describe a new foothold.

A lot of words in English came from a great number of languages in the world, including Arabic. "Algebra" is also an Arabic-derived word.

I'm not surprised...
About 1562 words in the English language comes from the Arabic language, so what's so different about the word 'jihad'!!!
Arabic is just so rich and beautiful.
Peace.
