Justifying Jihad?: "I only had half an eye on Peter Taylor’s Generation Jihad last night - and also, until I noticed it on the
website, I didn’t realise it was only part one of a series of three. So my impression that he was more sympathetic to his Jihadi interviewees than strictly necessary may be premature. He may have been coaxing them into letting their fanaticism speak for itself. But this episode strove to convince us that Islamist extremism wasn’t the
real Islam, but as chalk to ‘moderate’ Islam’s cheese.
I was horrified to see him perpetuating the discredited tale of the
Al Durah shooting at the hands of the Israelis, when the veracity of that has been exposed, at the very least, as dubious.
If Peter Taylor is sufficiently ignorant about the controversy surrounding that case to use it to illustrate justification for Jihad how does that make the rest of his programme look?
