Jihad requires Muslims to "struggle in the way of God" or "to struggle to improve one's self and/or society."[3][4] Jihad is directed against the devil's inducements, aspects of one's own self, or against a visible enemy.[1][5] The four major categories of jihad that are recognized are Jihad against one's own self (self-perfection), Jihad of the tongue, Jihad of the hand, and Jihad of the sword.[5] During his life, Muhammad gave various injunctions to his forces and adopted practices toward the conduct of war. The most important of these were summarized by Muhammad's successor and close companion, Abu Bakr, in the form of ten rules for the Muslim army:[1] “ Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone." Muslim jurists agree that Muslim armed forces must consist of debt-free adults who possess a sound mind and body. In addition, the combatants must not be conscripted, but rather enlist of their free will, and with the permission of their family.[1] After Muhammad and his companions, there is no concept in Islam obliging Muslims to wage war for propagation or implementation of Islam. The only valid basis for military jihad is to end oppression when all other measures have failed. Islam only allows jihad to be conducted by a government,[15] with at least half the power of the enemy.[16][17][18] Some Islamic scholars consider the latter command only for a particular time.[19] So, are you?
Being attacked and being oppressed are two different things though. And there is the problem of how you define oppression of course.
There's a difference between family and country. I'd do some things to protect my family and probably less things to defend my country. I would probably go to live to another country though. I'm not interested in politics and any spot of land is my home. Depends on who's attacking though, the resources I have, the chances of victory, the routes of retreat and endless other circumstances that depend on each particular case. I'm not a jihadist, I'm rational. Here's a video from the last revolution I participated in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00AJoSZkaIg The man shot dead had saved my life two months before.
