Unfortunately, your observations are correct. British Muslims have turned into a generally aggressive breed that adopts the worst of the West in the name of Islam.
However, this has nothing to do with Jihad. Jihad, old girl, means a personal struggle. Self-control and willpower come under Jihad. Jihad includes keeping a “stiff upper lip”, which unfortunately is conveniently forgotten these days. It can include warfare WHEN PROVOKED (read any reliable Islamic text, there are rules), but the importance of the personal struggle over the recently traditionalized “warfare” definition is nowhere better shown than in the hadith, where upon returning after a battle to the city, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that the minor jihad [the battle] had ended and the major one [all the personal struggles of daily life] had resumed.
