There has to be more to this story.
There is.
They're saying "we're not quite ready for martyrdom, just yet".
Who is?
OK, some of us cyber-warriors maybe, but for those who walk-the-walk on a daily basis and who get to witness Islamic brutality up close and personal, peaceful coexistence and just surviving until tomorrow, tend to take priority.
Whether statements like this will achieve that end, is another question of course, but I can see where they're coming from.
