I am defending Muslims, yes. And decency. Your definition of "jihadi" is loose enough to sometimes refer only to terrorists and sometimes refer to Muslims in general, so you're claim that I am "defending muslim jihadis" is meaningless because you use words that are rendered meaningless by your unwillingness to define them.
Unfortunately those two terms are mutually incompatable in most cases.

Since most muslims in general have a theological disposition to support or practice jihad, so-called moderates included, the broader term is applicable. And yes, you do defend jihadis.
