Jihad is not terrorism

That's straight from the lips of Ahmet Davutoglu, Turkey's Foreign Minister.

That's because jihadis are fighting for the honor of Allah, while terrorists are fighting for something else.

Any confusion between jihad and terror can be laid at the feet of American neo-cons and the Israel lobby.

Davutoglu is speaking in the context of explaining Turkey's support for al Qaeda "rebels" in Syria. Seems that those al Nusra Front dudes that America has labelled "terrorists" are just jihadis.

I'm guessing his NATO allies will have some questions for him at the next NATO summit.
