About

The Blog

Holy War on Style by Jihad is a platform where I, Jihad, can explore everything in fashion that interests me, and discuss (read: complain about) the things I don't quite understand.  This is just a little more than your typical fashion & style blog, because I'll occasionally weigh in on topics that are indirectly related. As a self-proclaimed veteran of the blogosphere, I've seen enough to know that readers only leave about 10% of the "fashion" blogs they visit with some sort of new– dare I say valuable– information.

The Name

My name is Jihad.  It's a common misconception that my name means Holy War in Arabic.  It actually means "inner struggle."  Every time I introduce myself, I say, "it's Jihad, like 'holy war,' but it doesn't actually mean that."  Maybe this blog will make introductions a little easier.  It's worth a shot, right?
