The reason term "Jihad" is hijacked is because "rest of ummah" never criticised or disowned them strongly, so now Taliban=Jihad, hence if you support jihad you support Taliban.
Well said, our press calls them jihadis, these groups call themselves jihadis. Which mullah has come out and issued a fatwa saying that these groups cannot be called jihadis? Probably any mullah who does that, will meet the same fate as pir samiullah.
