It's a holy war in the islamic religion which they claim on people or other countries- they are claiming a Jihad against western countries at the moment cos they're not happy with the way we live or something like that.
'As this suggests, jihad is "holy war." Or, more precisely: It means the legal, compulsory, communal effort to expand the territories ruled by Muslims at the expense of territories ruled by non-Muslims.
The purpose of jihad, in other words, is not directly to spread the Islamic faith but to extend sovereign Muslim power (faith, of course, often follows the flag). Jihad is thus unabashedly offensive in nature, with the eventual goal of achieving Muslim dominion over the entire globe.'

you mean jihad?
Holy war basically.
it's from the koran, and it's the fight against the unbelievers of Islam.
