Ah, now there I fear you are wrong. You are making a classic mistake here. These "jihadists" are highly intelligent, dedicated, devout muslims who are sacrificing their lives for what they consider to be the noblest of causes - the service of Allah and the defence of His Faith. It is an ugly fact that their faith is being hijacked & manipulated by O.B.L. and his minions for secular power. O.B.L. wants to set up a pan- Islamic state govened by Shara Law in strict accordance with the word of the Prophet. As determined by his Mullah's. (give you one guess as to which Mullah's) There is of course no room for dissent and anyone who dares to argue is defying Allah and must ofcourse be put to death. There are as many factions in Islam as there are in any other faith. The idea of religious tolerance and freedom of consiance( yes, I know I spelt that wrong) & speech, which is one of the cornerstones of The Free World is, of course, anthima and must be destroyed, along with all the Islamic sects that have taken sanctuary amonst us. It's one of the oddity's of religion that the more intelligent and devout the person, the easier they are to manipulate, unfortunately. If they were stupid, this fight would already be over. They ain't and it isn't.
