Your comments are the words of a religious fanatic [of course I'm not saying you are]

Martha: Everything is fair in love and war!

It all depends upon the intention in your heart. I hate to give a bad example but you must know the story of Masada  I think the Jews opted for a wrong method IMHO.

The non-governmental Muslim forces are too cowardly and religious to fight for true justice or take over lands. I would give the Israeli special forces more credit than religious soldiers. The days where muslim armies came in large numbers like that of Sala-hudin are over.

This a part of the Jewish- Roman war history:

The fall of Masada

    During the spring of 71, Titus set sail for Rome. A new military governor was then appointed from Rome, Lucilius Bassus, whose assigned task was to undertake the "mopping-up" operations in Judaea. He used X Fretensis to oppose the few remaining fortresses that still resisted. Bassus took Herodium, and then crossed the Jordan to capture the fortress of Machaerus on the shore of the Dead Sea. Due to illness, Bassus did not live to complete his mission. Lucius Flavius Silva replaced him, and moved against the last Jewish stronghold, Masada, in the autumn of 72. He used Legio X, auxiliary troops, and thousands of Jewish prisoners, for a total of 10,000 soldiers. After his orders for surrender were rejected, Silva established several base camps and circumvallated the fortress. According to Josephus, when the Romans finally broke through the walls of this citadel in 73, they discovered that the 967 defenders had preferred death, than to be tortured by the Romans. Since suicide was not allowed by the Jewish religion, they killed each other till the last man, who was the only one who had to commit suicide.
