(10,274 posts)They were not fighting to impose an extreme form of islam. Nor dedicated to killing those who didn't share their religion. They were trying to impose a secular government in the face of the fascist monarchists almost the exact opposite of what this misguided extremist was up to.
The groups he was fighting with make the tea party look positively progressive.

(6,891 posts)by his own admission, was not fighting to impose any form of Islam or any other religion. From what he said, I would conclude he was a secularist and a republican democrat. He claimed those he fought with him were of many religious, ethnic and political persuasion. After the Spanish Civil War, members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were tarred as communists when they returned home, when communist had the same connotation jihadist has today.

(10,274 posts)he fought for. If you watch his earlier video's before he was caught they are full of Jihadist rhetoric.
There is no similarity between secular communism and Jihadist ideology.

(6,891 posts)about him is an inference that is not based upon anything he said or any evidence you know of. There are as many variants on the meaning of communism as there are jihad. At their worst they are both rationalizations for making the world a better place by violently forcing you and me to comply with the beliefs of fanatics and psychopaths. At their best they demand we become the change we want to see in the world.

(4,840 posts)Yea, he may have meant to have been on the "right" side but pretty stupid to get involved in that murky situation anyway.
Sorry for whatever happened to him, though.
