The basic rules of war in Islam are:
1. Be strong so that your enemy fear you and should not attack you.
2. Do not begin the hostilities. Work for peace as much as possible.
3. Fight only those who fight, no collective punishment; non-combatants should not be harmed. Weapons of mass destruction should not be used.
4. Stop hostilities as soon as the other party is inclined to peace.
5. Observe the treaties and agreements as long as the enemy observes them.
Allah says very clearly: (Fight in the cause of Allah those who fight you, but do not do aggression, for Allah loves not the aggressors.) (Al-Baqarah 2: 190)
1. Islam Forbids Aggression Against Innocent People
Islam does not permit aggression against innocent people, whether the aggression is against life, property, or honor, and this ruling applies to everyone, regardless of post, status and prestige. In Islam, as the state’s subject is addressed with Islamic teachings, so is the ruler or caliph; he is not allowed to violate people's rights, lives, honor, property, etc.
In the Farewell Pilgrimage, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared the principle that people's lives, property, and honor are inviolable until the Day of Judgment. This ruling is not restricted to Muslims; rather, it includes non-Muslims who are not fighting Muslims. Even in case of war, Islam does not permit killing those who are not involved in fighting, such as women, children, the aged, and the monks who confine themselves to worship only.
This shouldn’t raise any wonder, for Islam is a religion that prohibits aggression even against animals. Ibn `Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, quote the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, as saying: "A woman (was made to) enter (Hell) Fire because of a cat which she tied, neither giving it food nor setting it free to eat from the vermin of the earth." (Reported by Al-Bukhari)
If such is Islamic ruling concerning aggressive acts against animals, then, with greater reason, the punishment is bond to be severe when human being happens to be the victim of aggression, torture and terrorism.
the Messenger of Allah, (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Surely, Allah is Good and never accepts but what is good."

A Jihad is a holy war, NOT a war sanctioned by anybody in any position of authority. Therefore killing people is unjust and illegal. They deserve whatever sentence they get.

JIHAD = to defend your country against invaders and occupiers.
to defend your religion against those who want to destroy it example ( the pagans of Mecca when islam first began )
to travel abroad seeking education
all those are considered Jihad.
=============================================
Jihad also when engaged in killing it is killing of the Army not the civilians. civilians are to be respected especially women and children.

Under NONE. You've raised my ire, asshole. This is unfortunate for me, as I won't be logical in my response. Here it is however: Please kill everyone you know who is of your mindset. And then please kill yourself. Won't you be doing your friends a favor by sending them to the 13 virgins or whatever the hell your dumb- *** thinks? Then, for yourself, as a reward, won't there be 17 tight ******* waiting you? You suck, you piss me off, and I know, happily, that your soul will rest in hell. Now I want a pizza.
