Lisa is asking: What self defence are you talking about? Let me answer you the way you may quickly understand.

1) Consider the way US & UK went to Iraq, for we the Muslims it is an offensive Jihad, but for the Americans & the British it is considered as DEFENSIVE jihad. This is bcos they (Bush & Blair) said Iraq will be very dangerous in future especially under Saddam.

2) Stoping Iran from getting nuclear weapon through any means is a DEFENSIVE jihad for the Americans & Isrealis, but it is considered a great INJUSTICE to the Iranians.

Therefore through these 2 examples, go back & read the history of Islamic Jihad & relate to your contemporary Jihad b/4 concluding whether Prophet Muhammad's Jihad was a defensive or offensive.

Follow every jihad of Muhammad & consider if you were at his position what do you do?
Pls you better learn b/4 jumping to conclusion, ask those that know the history of jihad, read the books on Jihad written by the Jihadist. Don't take the meaning of Jihad from the sayings of Saddam, bcos he is not a Jihadist but a Baathist.
