No, never. Jihad has nothing to do with terrorism, except of fighting against them.
Terrorism is attacking the civilians and terrifying them. The Jihad, which is thought to be war, is standing before them (i.e. terrorists) and fighting against them. This is the small jihad. There is also a jihad which is called "the big jihad". And that is struggle to do right and good things and protecting yourself from bad.
The terrorism which is done under the name of Islam is a plan of destroying Muslims.
If a Christian kills someone, no one says that it is because of Christianity. Why? Because Christianity doesn't teach that. Similarly, Islam also doesn't teach to kill an innocent. Islam is not responsible for what is done against its teachings.

No. Jihad means struggle in English. Every human struggles in his/her life for living, securing good job, raising children, getting higher qualifications, ... , in addition to struggling to do right and say right and not to do anything against God satisfaction and blessings. However, terrorism is to attack civilians and terrifying them that is something condemned in Islam.

Can Muslims justify jihad using their faith?
Answer 1It can be justified; it is protecting the Muslims from being attacked.Answer 2The important thing to note before answering is that Muslims and Non-Muslims will read this question differently. Muslims see jihad as resistance to oppression and fighting your inner turmoil. Non-Muslims see jihad as a synonym for terrorism. There is a huge debate in the Muslim community concerning certain specific types of terrorism and those who argue for its permissibility due so by appealling to the Qur'an and Hadith. Those who oppose it also appeal to the Qur'an and Hadith. Most Muslims will argue that if a jihad threatens the lives of innocent civilians, it is being conducted incorrectly.
Who launched the jihad in 1826?
God did. Jihad means, simply, to strive to establish good, over evil. It can take many forms: writing, speaking, voting, etc. It can also take the form of fighting; however, it can never take the form of terrorism. God established these things not only for the Muslims. He established it even in the Bible. But terrorism is something different completely. Terrorism is not jihad because jihad is only for just causes and in just ways.
With the help of the quran and hadith give the difference between jihad and terrorism?
Jihad, as described in the Quran, refers to a struggle or effort to strive towards self-improvement, to defend one's faith, or to promote justice and peace. It can be both an internal spiritual struggle (greater jihad) and a physical defense of Islam in the face of aggression (lesser jihad). Terrorism, on the other hand, involves the deliberate targeting of innocent civilians, causing fear and harm, which is explicitly condemned in Islam. Jihad promotes peace, while terrorism goes against the principles of Islam by causing harm to innocent people.
