Some body among these is giving ideas for rebellion. It is easy to fight (against) an Army but difficult to fight an Idea ! Also the famous 19'th century German cartoonist poet Wilhelm Busch says in Max&Moritz (or so I think) that " Wickedness with wickedness can't last for long with hand in hand " which is my rough translation of the original German " Boesewicht mit Boesewicht auf die Dauer geht's nicht! " Some of these points in random thoughts to ponder whether conceptual polity can effectively fight with physical weapons of war against entrenched convictions religious faith to bring about a radical and lasting change for good.
