To be a little fair, he isn't entirely unjustified: Xira has lied to them about his thing, arguably went to deceive them and when it got dragged out of the closet he continues to take them for a fool by still lying to them.
I mean, Xira had a few chances to come straight about this, hasn't he?

"justified" or "unjustified" is a hard call to make -- Jonan would definitely have reasons to be less than patient when dealing with someone who's proven himself to be a bit slippery with powers that include manipulating thoughts and emotions, but uh, there are also options available to Jonan that did not involve violently disrobing a teenager.

Now that I think about it, simply saying "Xira, we know" or putting a hand on his shoulder as a sign of reassurance could go a long way. I think Sev was trying to do that. Xira was meeting it with denial.
The problem is that it would require trust in Xira and Jonan is short on that on the moment. Trying to deny the obvious and setting up time for him to use his mind powers is something Jonah wants to avoid, as well as any ambiguity of the situation (Jonah might be arrogant enough to think that the others have not figured it out). It also confronts Xira with the fact and leave him no room to weasel out of this.

Considering how important Turbans are to Sikhs and Muslims in real life this may be the worst thing Jonan's done outside of flashbacks.
