"If we can "infect" the various world religions with the belief that "Jihad", "Crusade", or "holy war" is a spiritual war focused on peacefully changing hearts and minds, through the weapons of love and human tolerance, we'll have achieved the victory."

Then you are bound in eternity to fight them in contradiction to your claim of peacefully changing hearts and minds through weapons of love and human tolerance.

All of the terms you listed translate to a struggle for good and a stand against evil. The peace of which is found in your heart, not in the government of nations. Good idea and when the evil is the real brutal tyranny of a corrupt individual or group we should take a stand against that one. The problem, as I see it, has been the tendency to mendaciously and often falsely assign evil to the other guy to excuse our own wantonness then to wage war to get what we want.
