Question

Read the paragraph from the section "Jihad better explained."

A very small group of Muslims, however, feel that Muslims must wage war against all non-
believers. It is this idea of jihad that has inspired Islamic extremist terrorism, acts of violence

committed by radicalized Muslims who believe they must advance their goals through disruption.
Unfortunately, due to media coverage, this is the interpretation of jihad that most Westerners are
familiar with.

(B) to define a concept that is important to the Islamic faith
(C) to address a common misconception about Islam
(D) to explain one difference between Islam and other religions
