There is absolutely no way I would advocate nor back a jihad, it's utterly wrong but the point is one can understand one lone figure uttering the word out of revenge for the slaughter of his innocent people. Just like the pretext for the Israeli bombardment of Gaza by the way. If there were Jewish voices in the streets calling for a revenge attack on Gaza I didn't hear our Government trying to incriminate them.

The point is that the Western nations should be even handed in this conflict and their failure to restrain Israeli carnage means they have blood on their hands.
It's not acceptable though. If it's acceptable for someone to talk about Jihad for revenge for "his people" (and we have no idea where those people are from..they are presumably Muslims, but they could be from anywhere) then what else is okay?

If you are cool with that then presumably you are cool with the people of Hartlepool demanding to kill asylum seekers after someone was murdered up there last week? Is that okay? Is that an understandable response?

It's indefensible really and it also undermines the perfectly legitimate and peaceful views of the overwhelming majority of people at pro Palestine marches on the weekend.
