The bad news is that they want to fight for the other side:
One of five Americans detained in Pakistan said their aim was to go to Afghanistan to wage jihad against Western forces, defending their intention as justified under Islam.
But he denied any links to al-Qaida or plans to carry out terrorist attacks in Pakistan, as alleged by Pakistani authorities.
But don't think they're up to no good! Oh no!
"We are not terrorists," one of the men, Ramy Zamzam, told The Associated Press as he entered a courtroom in Sargodha on Monday.
"We are jihadists, and jihad is not terrorism," he said.
See? Not terrorists at all. Just unlawful combatants!
As long as jihad is a means for upward social mobility for a bunch of dweebs, dorks, and dummies like these, expect more to show up on the battlefield or on our airplanes.
