Islam is a peaceful religion for the most part, but the fact remains that jihad is the unofficial sixth pillar of islam. In the case of the terror campaign of Al-Qaeda it is a defensive jihad against nations perceived to pose a threat to the religion of Islam and the lands of Muslim nations. If the US did not have military bases in Muslim countries and did not influence the governance of Muslim lands by supporting regimes that are considered oppressive and corrupt by the masses of thier citizens, then we would not be under as sustained and popular an attack by Muslim jihadists.
