He might not have associated with jihadists in life, but in death he’s being claimed as one of them:

That did not stop some jihadists on Islamic forums from celebrating his deed as if he were one of their own, and even dubbing him “Abu Mus’Ab Al-Virgini,” after the late Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi… Al-Jazeera reported 20 dead and 29 injured. Praise be to Allah. Praise be to Allah for these calamities hitting America. By the will of Allah, more of this [will happen], following their defeat in Iraq and Afghanistan. As Muslims, our real condolences to you is to help you absolutely destroy your criminal democracy. By the vulnerable people in the Earth.

It’s not as if you wouldn’t expect enemies of America to celebrate when something bad happens to America. But there’s something a little different going on when enemies of America claim any other enemy as one of their own. This isn’t a matter of alliances or enemy-of-my-enemy-is-my-friend-ism. Take the worst things that critics say about Bush’s “you’re with us or against us” line. Even in those cases, Bush isn’t saying “you’re either one of us or one one of them”. But for the jihadists, there can’t be anything like common interests or goals. You’re either one of them all the way, or you’re the enemy.
