The predictable out come would be retaliation by non BH members, regular Muslims under the impression they are now fighting a holy war,changing the dynamics of the players.  These terrorist are mischievously manipulating the country into civil war and are even willing to kill  "Martyr" fellow Muslims to cause chaos with long term deadly effects.
