I'd like to know, would you submit to occupation by what you considered a godless heathen, or is that a cause worth risking your life for to you?

Inappropriate question.

You should be asking if he would be willing to carry out *that specific attack* based on the same objective circumstances.

Furthermore, holding both ideologies as relative equals is inappropriate; particularly when both recognize "natural law," but one side suspends it on the basis of membership in its group.

I only intended to demonstrate his statement that the attackers value their lives at zero was false. This was done easily by pointing out that they value their cause above their life, and that is something not unique to them. He admitted there are things he values more than his life, but squirmed when he realized that doesn't mean he values his own life at zero. That's why he ducked the question.

I didn't hold them as relative equals. That was falsely suggested by him in post #12and corrected by me in posts #15 and #35
