No they want to die...in Islam they will be considered a martyr for the cause and be rewarded in the afterlife accordingly.
Not to mention if they are executed by the Infadels...they are recruiting poster material for al-Qaeda and the taliban.
The ONLY way I'd agree to that is if they were tossed into a grave with a pig sharing the space with them.
Again, I understand your point, TRG. I understand THEY want to die and they become some kind of poster child for islamofascism when they get offed.
I maintain that kind of spin, while convenient and perhaps even applicable, should not play any kind of part in how we deal with these criminals. You know better than I do how they respond to strength - and allowing their criminals to rot in prison consuming resources does not slow al Quaida's recruitment efforts and that kind of approach, as far as I'm concerned, displays weakness.
My point is, these actions that they're taking are CRIMES. It isn't a legitimate war that they're fighting (though they think it is, just because some dogbreath imam signs some kind of freakin' fatwa, declaring some kind of bullshit "holy war").
Show me the evidence that holding these vermin in prison forever slows down AQ recruitment and I'll buy your argument.
But I'm completely in accord with you on the collective pig-in-the-grave thing.
