You really don't understand jihad, bcos, in Jihad (as you said) it is prohibited to kill an innocent person (such as children, women, monks,etc). Even a non-muslim that does not fight the muslims should never be killed talk less of killing a muslim. But if a woman fights the muslims, she should be killed. So also if a non-muslim army hides behind a muslim to kill other muslims, that muslim must be cleared so as to reach the enermy. Or if a muslim is siding the non-muslims in destroying the muslims & Islam that muslim is worst than the non-muslim.

Take for instance, if now America noticed that there is an American supplying the Iraqi militants with amunition, how do you think American army will treat him? Do you think since he happens to be an American, he should be left alone? Apply your answer to the Jihadists.

But just without reason a muslim will never kill a soul, even if it were an animal.

Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) had a very good relationship with the non-muslims to the extend that when he died, he was owing a Jew some Dirham. He even mortgaged some of his belongings with that Jew.
