I shall not comment on first two questions as these are text book questions and anyone can answer it.
I'll comment on last three questions though.
3) Difference between Jihad and Terrorism
"Terrorism" will benefit some person or some state or certain group of people.
"Jihad" will benefit the whole Islamic nation. So an act of war which is planned to benefit Islamic nation as a whole according to teachings of Islam will be cosidered as "Jihad" no matter what the consequences are. Jihad is farz on every mulim of an "Islamic State" when the ruler of state declares it.
4) 9/11 was a Jihad or terrorism
In My opinion, 9/11 was nothing but an act to provide excuse to USA for doing whatever it is doing right now.
5) whats a appropriate way of Jihad OR which way is more suitable for Jihad in present situation
Jihad doesn't mean suicide. Islam never allows suicide. Islamic nation has to get itself able to compete other nations in all respects. Right now every thing for betterment of Islamic nation is Jihad. Even getting educated is Jihad. We should learn from "Sulah -e- Hudabia" ..... we need time and peace in order to develope. Right now any act buying us some time and peace is Jihad. We have no time to lose if we want to survive 21st century. Lets declare this century "the century of education" for Islamic nation. Get educated first to know your religion. Thats the only way ...............
