Once again great points .
and throws more valid viewpoints into the puzzle , and more understanding in how it would feel on the other side of the fence .
One thing i still don't believe is true, as much as even they may argue if they ever communicated outside their own club,
is "They will be as outraged about Muslim deaths anywhere in the world" they don't appear to be that concerned with muslim deaths. I don't think they are outraged at all.
More pi###d of with what they were served in life , and probably well before they ever thought about any cause for anything, anywhere.
i think at the most it is one of their their bandwagons , along with pan islam planet.
I think they might be just using " The Cause " as a way of legitimizing themselves to themselves in order to channel what is actually something much more twisted within their own
emotions and mind. I think they get a buzz out of the power they hold and how they can affect others, and of course your right they don't hold an exclusive on that .
fundamentalism is dangerous anywhere because it does not allow enquiry and challenge of its viewpoint, generally has a less that ratrional speaker-leader who uses emotions to defend the cause and hide the defficencies. "Gods" Army ? , yeah right ... as if God needs our help , and why do we think God could not speak to us directly but must go through all these chosen ones... huh again ! .. a universe was created, stars maintain thier orbits, life evolves beyond all mathamatical odds, God building a loudspeak big enough to broadcast Gods wishes direcly would be a piece of cake by comparrison. But no , God must channel through the" Chosen Ones " but that is another story .
