Fight like a Man

In my wanderings at Paltalk, I have gained many insights into the mindset of Muslims. One common theme that is repeated over and over is that one has to "fight like a man" [1] . They disdain using cover, defenses, modern vehicles or even modern weapons as being "cowardly". Supposedly the bravest thing one can do is to brandish a sword or scimitar and scream like a maniac. Using any thought or strategy or tactics is viewed as cowardly. I have heard this over and over, and I have started to realize this is a common theme among Muslims. Is it just frustration, or pure stupidity? I do not know, but it sure is backwards.

It is typical of lots of other Islamic thought. For example, it is common when young Afghans or Iraqis are being trained to use a rifle for them to hold the rifle above their head and fire randomly instead of aiming. They figure that they will hit what they want to hit if Allah wills it. They often have to be retrained to understand the concept of cause and effect. Wow...
