From Wicki:
"Within Islamic jurisprudence, jihad is usually taken to mean military exertion against non-believer/non-Muslim/Muslim combatants who insulted Islam. The ultimate purpose of military jihad is debated, both within the Islamic community and without. Jihad is the only form of warfare permissible in Islamic law and may be declared against illegal works, terrorists, criminal groups, rebels, apostates, and leaders or states who oppress Muslims. Most Muslims today interpret Jihad as only a defensive form of warfare."
The first sentence requires one to research what exactly is an "insult" to Islam. If you have the time you will find that all of the behavior of non-Muslims is an "insult" to Islam. The list is simply to long to cover in this reply.
I found it instructive when comparing the Islamic condemnation of terrorism with Christianitys condemnation of murder. Ill give you a hint which the progressive media establishment cannot get their heads around: the Islamic doctrines definition of innocent does not coincide with Websters.
While non-Muslim Westerners assume they know what is meant by terrorism, innocent and civilians, these are hotly debated terms in the Islamic world. Anjem Choudary, leader of a British Islamic group explained it quite clearly to an interviewer when responding to questions about the July 7, 2005 London bombings. He explained that victims of the affair were not innocent because they were not Muslims: When we say innocent people we mean Muslims. As far as non-Muslims are concerned they have not accepted Islam. As far as we are concerned, that is a crime against God
As far as Muslims are concerned you are innocent if you are Muslim. Then you are innocent in the eyes of God. If you are non-Muslim, then you are guilty in the eyes of God.
If you check out the position of the Islamic spiritual gurus in Mecca and Medina you will find the fore mentioned at the core of their "jurisprudence."

Promoting a religious war through lies and misinformation is the most despicable agenda I can imagine. You and many others on this forum are guilty, Tenneman. If there was a God, I think it would deal harshly with your ilk.
