I think that the chapter and verse quoting is a performance. It's something they do for the benefit of their followers, since it plays to their emotions and gets them pumped up to kill and rape. Also, if you keep your strategy to yourself, instead of telling your flunkies everything, then it doesn't matter if the flunkies get captured, sent to Guantanamo Bay, and waterboarded. They've got nothing of value to say.
I think the real strategy has fuck-all to do with Islam, and everything to do with earthly power. If Satan can quote Scripture to suit his purpose, why shouldn't DAESH leaders do the same with the Quran?
Well, yeah. The US needs a boogeyman to keep the proles distracted and scared, otherwise they might realize that the government and big business have been running a train on them since about 1945 and start demanding real reform. Russia under Vladimir Putin isn't quite suitable to purpose, so we keep stirring shit up in the Middle East.
You're the one trying to make it about religion instead of looking for the truth. Maybe those tens of thousands protesting attacks by the West have a good reason for protesting. Maybe, just maybe, the West is just a bit meddlesome. You know, the White Man's Burden and all that bollocks?
I find it preferable to say that the DAESH assholes aren't real Muslims. Otherwise, it's too easy for me to fall into the "Kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" trap.
They don't do it for Islam or the demon Allah. They do it for power, and for their own aggrandizement. All references to Islam on their part are for propaganda and recruitment purposes.
Don't grant these pigfuckers undeserved legitimacy by calling them an "Islamic State". They are neither Islamic, nor a legitimate state. They are a gang of murderers and rapists, nothing more.
I'm not a real American. I'm a dirty liberal atheist with a gun who only puts in 40 hours a week as a programmer so that I have time to write badass SF novels and molest my wife. I just happen to live in America.
What's it like to be a sucker who lets his bosses exploit his passion for computing for profit? You see, I'm one of those older programmers who keeps up in order to stay "employable", but has no passion for the work. I only do it because it pays better than cleaning toilets, and I'm good at it.
Screw the shareholders. What about the rest of Oracle's workers? You know, the people who make Larry Ellison look good by busting their asses? Why not give them a raise?
Right, because calling them pigfuckers when they're adherents of a religion that considers pigs to be unclean is somehow not a real insult? I guess I should stop calling evangelical Christians "sodomites" as well.
So what of Lennart calls it "Core OS"? John Romero said he was going to make you his bitch. It's hype/marketing talk. So what if it does replace a far amount of user space on distros that use it? That doesn't prove that systemd will replace the kernel. Furthermore, the time to complain about kernel functionality being moved into user space was when DBus and udev were new. In the meantime, I find that Arch Linux forum post does a good job of explaining systemd's merits.
I am an American worker. Fear-driven development is the status quo. Fear-driven work is the status quo. I fear poverty. I fear destitution. I fear being unable to have any time to actually live because the struggle to maintain my continued existence takes all of my time and energy. Getting a new job doesn't help, because I'm still a wage slave. Forming a startup won't save me, because equity doesn't pay the rent.
Dice didn't get its corporate charter out of a McDonalds Happy Meal. Those papers were issued by a government. Therefore, all corporations are creatures of the state, and tainted by the state's monopoly on the "legitimate" use of violence.

Why don't you assholes just fire up Auschwitz, Dachau, etc? You're arguing for a Final Solution to Abrahamic monotheism at this point.
I don't need to justify the use of terrorism against civilians. Ever hear of total war? The justification has already been made.
You don't need Islam for that. You just need to scare the shit out of people by being the craziest, most violent motherfuckers around.

How dare you accuse me of worshiping the demon Yahweh?

Which is why I also call them "pigfuckers", since Islam is like Judaism in that both religions consider pigs "unclean" animals. :)

So, Bono and Apple want to try resurrecting the iTunes LP? Not bloody likely.

The "willingly" was implied. My mistake.

ISIS fighters rape pigs, because no woman will have them.
It runs in user space, not kernel space, so it isn't really his problem. :)

Bitcoin won't stop us from dragging the rich from their palaces and putting them to the sword.
I'm willing to end taxes on corporations if we also end corporations.

This is why we invented surface-to-air missiles.
