I did not address offensive vs. defensive jihad

Sara,

I made no mention of offensive verse defensive jihad or the justifications Muslims use to engage in either. My post focused on the conduct of jihad which whether it is offensive or defensive places restrictions on who/what are legitimate targets. Your accusations and points are therefore misplaced.
