Sigh.

A) Islam is a religion.
B) It is global
C) It has billions of people who "believe". Nothing to do with
logic or argument etc.
D) They believe that they are generally under attack by a
Christo-Judaic-Secularist alliance.


Feeding off the above you have the
"militants"/"fighters"/"Defenders of the
faithfull" etc.etc.

If you already start off being a "believer" & is to do with
the next world & not this anyway.....

The aim is to get the muslim faithfull saying "what defenders?
They're/you're not my defender & God can defend himself."
