I disagree, it isn't different in this case. Islamic law is being used as a base of governance, but their goals of establishing a nation, or forcing out foreign powers is secular, is it not?Sir, seeking political independence for a country is different, castly different from seeking to unite scores of different countries (by ANY definition of a country you may follow) and then implementing islamic harsh system there with the guiding principle being islamic absolute supremacy. Many of the fighters are from ''traditionally non islamic countries''!!!
News to me. Do you have any source? If true, I stand corrected.Your LTTE example is so flawed, when half of their leadership including chief ideologues were christian. The LTTE did not even cremate their dead but buried them, they were 100% Tamil nationalists, religion had no role to play except to the extent their adversaries tried to use religion to fight LTTE.
Having said that, does my point really get negated? My example may have been wrong, but my point still stands. Look at the militias in the US, they're mainly hardcore far right Christian groups, but are referred to ultra nationalists.
o add that Islam to ISIS and AQ is a unifying factor. Think about it, how else are they going to gain recruits from the global Muslim population? They've made themselves out to be pious Muslims, so they can gain sympathy. The fact that both AQ and ISIS have committed heresy by blatantly ignoring Sharia, by targeting civilians, and using suicide bombings, that is proof enough to show that these are not truly 100% religious organizations.
