Bobby Ghosh: Why global jihad is losing

The video explores the concept of jihad, emphasizing its original meaning as an internal struggle for faith among Muslims. It contrasts this with the external interpretation adopted by a minority, leading to global jihad as defined by Osama bin Laden. The narrative highlights the impact of bin Laden's actions, the shift from global to local jihad, and the decline of bin Ladenism due to various factors like the Arab Spring and media exposure. The video concludes with optimism about reclaiming the true meaning of jihad and the narrowing gap between the Muslim world and the West.
