You find the jihadis "unreasonable". Look, this is the list of things you could find "unreasonable": (a) the jihadi position on God (b) the jihadi position on US policy (c) the jih…

I answered this above. Occupation is one reason the kamikaze may feel like a cornered rat. Indirect occupation is another. This can be because the perpetrator (USA) is giving weapo…
