I'm no expert, but my understanding is that "jihad" means "personal struggle." Its supposed to refer to an individuals efforts to become a better human being. Bin Laden types have broadened the definition to mean a "struggle, by absolutely any means necessary, to fulfill the will of Allah." I believe that most Muslims would find such a reinterpretation offensive.
