True, but this use of 'Jihad' that seems to be continuously cropping up in the 
media seems to me to imply an underlying message along the lines of 'yea, 
those muslim bastards are responsible for this one too. carpet bomb the lot 
of em, i say'. Perhaps I'm just paranoid (and I'm sure this wasn't Tim's 
intention, more than likely he's simply following the trend), but it's this 
that causes me to be concerned about it.
