I personally think that we should only go to Jihad when the kuffar(non-beleivers) announce that the war is against the Muslims. Otherwise they will continue calling us terrorists even though they themselves are.
I am not trying to justify what they are doing it is very wrong but there is not much we can do about it. This my dear respected brothers, elders and sisters is the sad truth.
