Islam is not generally considered to be a violent religion. Muslims are taught from the Koran to be charitable to others, to surrender themselves to God (Allah), to pray five times a day and to give up earthly pleasures during the month of Ramadhan.

As a result of the acts of Islamic extremists, many people in western society have come to associate the term Jihad with a violent offensive act. Jihad is not considered to be a Pillar of Islam by the vast majority of Muslims. Most of them see a Jihad as a defensive act.

From Wikipedia.com

Most Muslims today interpret Jihad as only a defensive form of warfare

It is important to note that Islamic extremists practice a cult form of Islam. One belief of this cult is that the United States threatens Muslims and must be stopped. It is also important to note that Islamic extremists make up a very tiny (but well publicized) group of Muslims.
