Example of the message we need to get over there?

Bernard Haykel, a professor of Islamic studies at New York University, pens an op-ed for Pakistan's Dawn newspaper giving six reasons why Osama bin Laden's terrorist effort is not a jihad, or holy struggle:

1) Individuals and organizations cannot declare a jihad, only states can;

2) One cannot kill innocent women and children when conducting a jihad;

3) One cannot kill Muslims in a jihad;

4) One cannot fight a jihad against a country in which Muslims can freely practise their religion and proselytize Islam;

5) Prominent Muslim jurists around the world have condemned these attacks and their condemnation forms a juristic consensus (ijma') against Bin Laden's actions (This consensus renders his actions un-Islamic);

6) The welfare and interest of the Muslim community (maslaha) is being harmed by Bin Laden's actions and this equally makes them un-Islamic.
