I have read up about Al-Qaida, and I have observed numerous media reports on 9/11. What I still do not understand is the reasoning behind the attack. I know Al-Qaida is an extremist Islamic group, and I have heard that it was an attack on western morals, as well as that Al-Qaida was as paranoid as to suspect a Christian-Jewish alliance which conspired against the religion in its entirety. But I do not understand their relation to Jihad, and I perhaps have a limited understanding of the concept. What exactly motivated Al-Qaida to do this, and how did they in any way use Islam to justify it?
