Also thy have to follow Sahria Law. Thy must get essentially the "blessing" or the go ahead from a cleric or a number of clerics to OK the slaughter of innocent, non-combatives.

Oh, yeah, that would delay them -- NOT. Nutjob "clerics" who will give their blessing to any harebrained scheme are a dime a dozen in Jihadistan.

You said -- "Nutjob "clerics" who will give their blessing to any harebrained scheme are a dime a dozen in Jihadistan."

They may appear to be "nutjobs" to our way of looking at things -- but -- they do have a "rationale" (although that rationale is evil, from the way we see the world). There are "absolutes" and they are evil as a result of the "absolutes" we have -- which stem from the Bible and the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

So, they are evil -- but -- they are *not* without a "rationale" for what they do and without "reasoning" for what they do.
