Islam & ISIS - Offensive Jihad

This video is part of a series looking into the actions of the Islamic State militant group and comparing them to the teachings of the Islamic faith based on an honest reading of the Quran, its interpretations by major reputable Muslim scholars, the hadiths (sayings of Mohammed) and other Islamic sources. Here we’ll look at whether jihad is only defensive as some apologists claim, or whether it can also be offensive?
