what is a holy war and an example?

When the Govenor ordered all Mormons to be exterminated. a lot got killed

Where the leaders of one religion or sect call for a war on another religion or sect - which is justified by their religious beliefs.

An example would be the Crusades or the Muslim conquests. They were fought because the other side wasn't the same religion.

Wars between India and Pakistan may be partially religious; there is a great deal of mistrust on each side for the other because they are a different religion, although there were other reasons they went to war.

A holy war is a war waged in the name of religion. The crusades for example.

The ONLY TRUE 'Holy War' is that between our Heavenly Father ('God') and satan. All other 'holy wars' are man-made by the influence of satan who is obviously against our Heavenly Father. Proof of that is the fact that anything that causes harm to others, is judgemental, is NOT loving, kind, gentle, compassionate and understanding is NOT of our Heavenly Father and, is therefore, clearly of satan! I believe that our mission on earth is to assist our Heavenly Father in the defeat of evil by living as Jesus taught; Jesus was a living example of how/what our Heavenly Father wants us to be!

9/11 would be a good example.

IF WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOLLY WAR IN ISLAM .IT IS THE THING WHICH A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD, TACTUALLY IT IS JIHAD WICH MEANS TO STRIVE OR STRUGGLE IN THE RIGHT PATH OF GOD AND IT ALSO INCLUDE WAR BUT ONLY IN AN EXTREME CAS
