- See life (disambiguation) for other senses of 'life'.
Life or personal life or human existence is an individual human's personal, private experience of living (including their employment career, their family life, and other elements). In prehistoric times, life and existence was based on survival. There was little privacy and a person was identified by their role in the group. In modern times, many people have even come to think of their personal lives as if they are separate from their work. This segmentation of "life areas" is evident in such phrases as "work life", "home life" and "sex life." The meaning or role of a person's "life" or "human existence" is discussed in many religions and philosophies. In Western industrialized countries, there are a variety of service industries that help people improve their personal lives, such as counselling and life coaching services. More...

Jihad Watch is a blog directed by American author Robert Spencer.[1][2][3][4]
According to Spencer, Jihad Watch aims to bring to public attention the role of jihad theology and ideology in the modern world, by documenting the parts they and Islam play in contemporary conflicts.[5] However, opponents, who say that Spencer deliberately portrays Islam and Muslims in a negative light, have called it Islamophobic.
The site features commentary from both Spencer and contributor Hugh Fitzgerald. The latter is referred to as "Jihad Watch Vice President."[6] The author of the Al Qaeda Reader, Raymond Ibrahim, is also a regular contributor.
Jihad Watch was launched in October 2003. Jihad Watch also contributes to The Intelligence Summit, which tracks current jihadist activity worldwide.[7] The project is affiliated with the David Horowitz Freedom Center, but is run independently by Spencer.[8]
