I would like to know from a Muslims perspective if these young British women are considered brave freedom fighters or not? Or Are they dangerously deluded potential murderers?

The young couple even have his and her Kalashnikovs and she expects her new husband to soon die leaving her with two young children to raise. To me this seems not just crazy but also very sad. Such a waste of young lives with so much more to live for. Am I missing something here that only a true Muslim can understand? Please explain!

Also, Who exactly are they fighting against? Are they on the same side as the west fighting against the Assad regime? Is the Syrian government not a Muslim government or just not Islamic enough?

I found this video quite sad, and would sincerely like to hear a true muslim's perspective on this. Surely someone must have an opinion, good or bad, please give yours.

Happy new year! I hope this year is a much more peaceful one and believers and non believers can have a more respectful dialogue in understanding each others perspectives. War and murder is not the answer.

Peace and love for all muslims, christians, atheists, and all human beings is the only way we can move forward and build a better planet for our children and our children's children.

^I am not able to watch the video but the Syrian state of affairs is vastly more political than religious.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. Please watch the video. It seems like it is very much their faith that is driving them to kill or be killed for the cause. For example, I too am not happy with the civil war going on in Syria, but cannot understand why young British women feel the need to choose a side, fly hundreds of miles, take up arms and kill other Muslims.
I'm not happy with the political systems in many countries around the world, but don't feel the need to fly there, get an ak47 automatic machine gun and shoot people.
Please help me understand by watching the video then explaining what it is I'm missing. And what do you think would be the solution to the problem? Apparently, there are thousands of young British Muslims who have travelled abroad to fight in war zones.

I can foresee big problems when they return.
