No, problem. I'll try to.

You tried to describe the Islamic view of the Jihad which differs from the view of my friend's father who is an Imam of a Mosque in this city.

That's one of the reasons I wanted to know more about you. Not about your person but something about your background to make it easier to understand.
Many people in the west don't know much about Islam and you could help to build a bridge by providing us with some informations, maybe a new thread about the teachings in your division and differences to others. People often fear thing they don't know.

For example to what division of Islam you belong: Sunni, Shi'a, Kharijite, Wahabbism to only name a few.

In Christianity for instance Catholics, Baptists and Methodists to name some differ quite a bit in their understandings of the Bible or their faith although all being Christians.

Actually, that's a very common false assumption. Most terrorists in the world at the moment are radical leftists, just look at South American, African or some well known European terrorist groups.
The number of victims surpasses the list of people killed by radical Muslim terrorists by far.

The problem is that most of their attacks don't hit many Westerners so the press coverage in the EU/USA is very low.
