Jihad is a core piece of their "religion". It doesn't survive for being itself, it requires spread through either population overload (slow-burn genocide) or direct warfare, and from there threatening infidels with death or taxing them. Having to carry out such behaviors makes it a cult, not a religion. Most Muslims don't carry it out directly, but they don't care either if believers do.
