Why would Yahoo put a word like "jihad" on a Text Twist game?

As far as I know, it's not an English word. Subliminal message? Sympathizers? Gee, I wonder.Why would Yahoo put a word like "jihad" on a Text Twist game?
why not?
grow up freakin conspiracy theoristWhy would Yahoo put a word like "jihad" on a Text Twist game?
ha, that is funny.
It is a word, right?Why would Yahoo put a word like "jihad" on a Text Twist game?
It's not "Jihad." It's "Dahij." You're reading it the wrong way.
It is an English word:



ji路had

鈥搉oun 1. a holy war undertaken as a sacred duty by Muslims.

2. any vigorous, emotional crusade for an idea or principle.
Not an English word? Many of our words aren't "English" by tradition. You eat burritos don't you? Or is that word not appropriate either? Or lasagna? Argh... All I can think of is food, it's lunch time.
It is an English word... ok, well, as one person already said, many, if not most, of the words we use every day come directly from or stem from other languages. But anyways, jihad is an English word, defined as a vigorous, emotional crusade for some sort of higher idea or power.
