Summary/Abstract: The author begins through a short introduction regarding the new tendency for relating with the Islamic world, noting an element that has provided the new American Administration with increased credibility: the elimination of the syntagm “war against terrorism”. Then, he makes an attempt to “decipher” the jihad – one of the most important concepts of the Islam. Moreover, he takes an approach to certain religious, ideological, military and political aspects regarding this concept. In the end, he draws some conclusions from the perspective of the influence the “offensive jihad” has, as a means of violent action (the one promoted by the terrorist organisations that operate globally), on the global security environment.
