No, you are missing the point completely. Being devout has everything to do with serving god, not protecting buildings. In the end, I have to believe the first trumps the latter.

Inshallah: If God wills it -- a principal tenet.

Perhaps someone who follows Islam could step in here, but my view is simply this: A believer who feels he is involved in a holy battle against an enemy will accept any consequences, simply because all outcomes are "inshallah": If God wills it.

If someone believes their cause is just, they will do most anything.

Just look at Bush.

If you can't see the parallels then yes, we should stop discussing it.
