It's a bitter pill to swallow but it is a fact and ALL the propaganda to the contrary will NEVER change it, the Jihadists are not afraid of the mightily superior forces arrayed against them, they are more afraid of LIFE without their faith than DEATH with it.
THAT takes "Courage" and I defy anyone to contradict the fact, (Which DOES NOT imply that I am in favour of atrocities) it merely illustrates that I am able to see further than the end of Obama's nose.
So what your saying is that courage equals credit for the Jihadists.
Taking everything in to account. Are you in favor of the jihadists over the "west" because they are demonstrating courage?
Not at all, I merely indicate that a lesser force (the Jihadists) MUST be accredited a degree of "Courage" in order to face down a vastly superior force (those of the West and others).
Whatever the political stratagems of EITHER side of the conflict are, "Courage" is a necessary virtue for ALL combatants.
The Jihadists are as entitled to fight for that which THEY believe in as are their opponents, were it not so, the West would be at liberty to impose ANY influence throughout the world in the guise of "Might is Right" and "Billy be Damned" whatever any other (sect) or religiously-governed nation might think if it does not accept the domination of the greater force.
My views should NOT be taken as an endorsement of atrocities (which incidentally are prevalent on BOTH sides of this conflict) they are, as indicated on many occasions, my opinion that a certain amount of "Courage" is attributable to the Jihadists.... that's all.
