I would like to talk about the concept of the sympathy that most Muslims have for Jihadists.

Even ones that denounce the violence, they are similar to the Leftwingers who thought that the Baader Meinhoff Gang's heart was in the right place, that they just got a little carried away in pursuit of the revolutionary agenda.

Similarly, many Muslims think that these Jihadists heart is in the right place.

This is besides the folks that support violent Jihad, or that actively apologize for them and seek to use the half arsed condemnation of violence in pursuit of the same agenda. Similar to the, "root causes" of the 9/11 attack, maneuver.

What say you?

To clarify a bit more, they are seen as fighting for good or righteous causes.

Its the similar to the old Nazi's are more evil than Soviet Communists, because the Soviets hearts were in the right place.

Nazism and Communism, vis-à-vis mahoundianism, aren't considered religions just because Hitler, Lenin, Mao, Marx, Stalin, Pol Pot, Fidel Castro and those of their ilk never laid claims to any kind of prophethood... Had that been the case, just imagine how much BS about the "evils" of "Naziphobia" and "Communistophobia" supporters of Western values would have heard from the usual mahound-loving PC/MC monkeys in the last several decades.
