Its interesting you say that (and a fairly accurate representation of Sunni views).

Because Sunnis initially maintained we 'patched' jihad. We maintained the [violent among] Sunnis had mutilated jihad and we had only restored it to its original form, as Islam intended it to be. A century or so later, 9/11 happened and lots of the Sunni clerics came out with our exact 'patched' version of jihad saying it was what the Quran taught (fighting only allowed in self defence, jihad essentially a reference to spiritual self reformation through striving towards ever higher morality etc).
