Inspector Gadget style?

Hahaha! You don't want to be doing the bare minimum now, would ya?

There are many places in which Muslims are defending their countries, and there are many places where Muslims are, like any other nation, defending their rights of liberation.
However, there are other groups that either use religion as a cover or bait (to bait recruiters, you all know how easy it is) to hide their own agenda and selfish needs. There are also groups who flat-out misunderstand their religion.
For me to decide on these places you mention, I have to inspect the conflict's history thoroughly, because it would be a big mistake to just judge with little information. Just because there are Muslims involved (1/6 of the world) doesn't mean Islam is the reason in it. Many of the conflicts, in Sudan for example, have reasons of tribal warfare, fighting over resources, as well as external hands playing into the scene.
If a government of an Islamic country ignores its religion's teachings and takes money from the people and preventing them the sweat of their brows, then it's not a religious issue anymore; for example.

Quran tells you about events that happened in the past to learn from, including asserting your right to defend yourself. There is a lot of context in these verses, including the early Muslims's patience in face of murder and oppression for more than 13 years, and this is where these verses come into context, marking the first time early Muslims used military force to defend themselves.
One's failure to learn a context of a story; any story is not a problem of the storytelling medium.

9:5 and 9:29? Way to miss context. These verses are talking about certain events in history in which people of Quraish were killing/torturing/robbing early Muslims for more than a decade, until them the Muslims were given the light to fight back and defend themselves. If you don't know Arabic, it isn't my fault you take your translations or (mis)interpretations for wrong sources. What is the point of reading something without knowing its context?

This is made of win

Maybe you're right.

I am not a simpleton who believes USA GOOD RUSSIA BAD, so I have no reason to think that the Russian gov't can actually make good use of FOSS, even if it doesn't support all of its ideals.
Is there a memo I missed that says any prime minister in the world can't possibly be supportive of some FOSS ideas such as ridding one's self from Microsoft's crap systems?
No matter the ulterior motives; wanting to get rid of Microsoft's systems is always a good thing.
