The fight with radical Islamist terrorists is a fight to the death.

If there is any doubt about whether one is or is not in a fight to the death, the surest way to resolve that doubt is to ask those with whom you are fighting;
"are we fighting to the death?"

If your opponent declares over and over again,
"of course we are fighting to the death"
so are you, in a fight to the death;
never mind any of your feelings or controverting misconceptions.

Fights to the death end in one of two ways.

If one or the other opponent does not realize, believe or fight like they are in a fight to the death, the death that ends the fight will be theirs.

The math all but does itself.
