Jihad= ferocious self defense

Maquiavello said that the best soldiers are the ones that fight with "il cuore" the heart. And simply Jihad is the maximum expression of this. So if Jihad is named against someone it is indeed something to be extremely worried about.
Why? simply because they would be honored to die for the name of Islam, because they don't know about time. Finally their objective will be accomplished, no matter the years, the decades or even centuries! Someday they will be victorius, and they know it because perseverance has it's eventual recompense, always.
In MANY ways a simple fanatic is a much better soldier than a trained one from United States of America, Maquiavello would probably compare the US soldiers as mercenaries and those are the worst soldiers a country could have.
If some palestinians do "terrorism" it is because they believe that what they are doing is correct. They have a past as a reference, history shows that in some extent, they are right! And so they will continue fighting as long as they are alive, untill they get what was theirs...

Many may think that really this is not so catastrofic, but it is. As i said they will persevere and who knows what can happen in the future. USA and Israel will, someday, lose its hegemony, probably this will happen far away in the future but no doubt that it will happen, and the muslims with their Jihad will be there to take profit.

The heart is a much more effective weapon than a machine gun, you have the "heart" when you fight in the name of something, when you believe that what you are defending is worth dying for, in the end terrorism is something that appears as an answer it is a reaction.
Conflicts involved with Jihad are condemned to be won by the muslims.
