190. And
fight in the Way of Allâh those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, Allâh likes not the transgressors. [This Verse is the first one that was revealed in connection with Jihâd, but it was supplemented by another (V.9:36)]. "To those
against whom war is made, permission is given (to defend themselves), because they are wronged - and verily, Allah is Most Powerful to give them victory -
(they are) those who have been expelled from their homes in defiance of right - (for no cause) except that they say, 'Our Lord is Allah'.... " 22:39-40
"
Fight in the cause of Allah against those who fight against you, but do not transgress limits. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors. ... And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against transgressors." 2:190,193
Based on above, all fights are legitimate and for "just cause" in Palestine, iraq, afghanistan, Somalia and other Muslims countries where the westerners are the outsiders and are the oppressors, occupiers, invaders and transgressors.
Only fights that are not "just cause" are the westerners who invade muslim lands to plunder their resources.
