I'll give it a shot.

It may be difficult to split out different aspects of a certain
mentality, a way of thinking.  Remember that Yin always contains the
seeds of Yang, and the other way around.  So you can't conclude that
something misapplied and misused cannot be applied or used properly,
or that something negative as a whole does not contain any positive
aspect.

I don't think for a moment Jaz advocated violence against civilian
bystanders or Islamofascism in general.  But there is a narrow point
one can argue, which is that perhaps parts of this "to the death"
mentality could be applied constructively in the West.  That is very
much despite the fact it is often applied destructively and
nonsensically in the Middle East.
