That may not be the "correct" definition but its what people believe it means.

When you mention jihad to 99% of Westerners, sure, but that's not necessarily true when applied to those who actually follow the religion jihad is a part of. Usually, when contemplating whether something is offensive or insulting in some way, you need to actually consider the group of people it is likely to offend or insult. The sword doesn't feel the pain it inflicts, and all that.
I don't think the ad is really overtly hate speechy, just necessarily vague and could easily be prone to misunderstanding and offence.
