Perhaps you are denying the existence of radical Islamic jihadists?

The Qur'an describes Jihad as a system of checks and balances, as a way that Allah set up to "check one people by means of another." When one person or group transgresses their limits and violates the rights of others, Muslims have the right and the duty to "check" them and bring them back into line. There are several verses of the Qur'an that describe jihad in this manner. One example:

"And did not Allah check one set of people by means of another,

the earth would indeed be full of mischief;

but Allah is full of Bounty to all the worlds"

-Qur'an 2:251

Islam never tolerates unprovoked aggression from its own side; Muslims are commanded in the Qur'an not to begin hostilities, embark on any act of aggression, violate the rights of others, or harm the innocent. Even hurting or destroying animals or trees is forbidden. War is waged only to defend the religious community against oppression and persecution, because the Qur'an says that "persecution is worse than slaughter" and "let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (Qur'an 2:190-193). Therefore, if non-Muslims are peaceful or indifferent to Islam, there is no justified reason to declare war on them.

Guess those bombers weren't doing this, which means they weren't doing a Jihad, guess you only want to see it that way.

Well you just gave a very succinct definition of the motivation and justification for Radical Muslims and their violent version/perversion of jihad.

Islamic Jihadists/Radical Muslims do feel like Western civilizations are neither indifferent nor peaceful towards Islam/Muslims. Thus making violent actions justifiable under the very definitions your second to last paragraph outlines. They feel attacked, oppressed, and they feel persecuted.

That is their modus oprandi. Muslims cannot question Islam. Therefore, Islamic terrorism doesn't exist.

Websters is full of hate speech apparently!

The perversion of the term indeed began with hate speech, and was force-fed to the American public as part of the Islamophobia crusade until it entered the Mainstream Misinformed Lexicon.

The repeated mis-use of strange foreign words - which actually mean very un-scary things, as if they have very different and very disturbing meanings - is a calculated tactic. It's the same thing they did with "madrassa" (which actually means "school," but according to Fox News et al, translates as "terror camp.")

"Jihad" essentially means "struggle," as in "struggle to be better." Violence against innocent people cannot meet the definition.

Video report at the source, with some examples of jihad:

"The word 'jihad' literally means struggle, struggle for a good cause," said Nihad Awad, national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

"It is a concept, a noble concept, within Islam that emphasizes a personal struggle within yourself to be a better person, a better husband, better wife, better worker, better neighbor," he explained. "It is not aggression, and it does not mean to commit harm against other people. If people commit harm against innocent people, it will be in violation of the spirit of Islam and a violation of the concept of jihad."

Anzor Tsarnaev, father of brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnayev speaks with media in his home, Makhachkala, Russia, April 19..

"I knew what he was doing, where he was going. I raised my children right," he said of his sons.

e said he is sure Tamerlan and his brother Dzhokhar must have been framed for the Boston bombing. "This is all lies. These are my children. I know my children," Mr. Tsarnaev said. He said his own brother, Ruslan, called his sons "losers" in an American television interview Friday because of a family feud.

Mr. Tsarnaev said he was also on hand when Tamerlan visited Makhachkala for a few months last year. "He wasn't occupied with anything. He was just visiting relatives," he recounted. Asked if it was possible Tamerlan encountered Muslim fundamentalists while in Dagestan, he said there was no way. "There aren't even any of those here anymore," Mr. Tsarnaev said. He said his son, who married and had a child with an American named Katherine, had recently become more religious and started to pray.

He also said it was impossible that his children's alleged crimes could have been tied to radical Islam. "What kind of Islam? In Islam we have purity," he said. "We do what we're supposed to. We pray five times a day. That's it. Because people are supposed to pray—you, and us, and everyone."

He also mentioned a domestic assault that Tamerlan had carried out in his past but brushed it off as a minor incident that involved the son's first girlfriend.

How about a simple definition

Definition of JIHAD

1 : a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; also : a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline 2 : a crusade for a principle or belief

Holy war is not a concept found in Islamic lexicon. It is found in bigot lexicon.

Narcissus and myrtle are nought.

Our drink is the blood of our foeman;

Our goblet his skull, when we've fought."

We feel western Civ has a bad impression of us. So let's go slam some jetliners into a building, blow up some ships,kill 1000's off innocent women and children, that will make them like us .

That will make them come to the light.

Apparently, the largest impact it had was to make a lot of Americans dumber. We're on a slippery slope that allows our government to strip civil rights away in the name of public safety. The Martin Niemöller poem comes to mind.
