What you said is easier said than done, and without Christ, who has a chance, to either escape this mess, or for the grace to not love their lives unto death, but give it all as testimony to Christ.
Courage in the face of adversity is difficult.
Courage in the face of evil however, shouldn't be.
Great.
May I ask if you have experience staring down lions? Or going in the middle of one of these crowds and standing up for what you believe for?
What I'm really wondering about, is what your definition of victory over evil is?
Is that killing, destroying? What exactly are you proposing?
We've all "stared down lions." It's subjective and from a point of reference.
Victory over evil is never accomplished. That would defeat the entire point of good. What I think you're asking is how do you kill that which will sacrifice everything to achieve their own goals.
The answer is to give them exactly what they want minus the cost to you and yours.

If Iran eventually kicks in somehow, that's 150 dollars a barrell of oil - welcome to recession 100% - which could lead to more wars.

They won't attack anywhere that could defend itself.
So look to children's hospitals, playgrounds, convents, etc.

the only good jihadist is a dead jihadist, the only good jihadist supporter is a dead jihadist supporter. that includes those that celebrate cowardly attacks in other countries, be them muslims or not.
drench them in pigs blood first, then bring hell fire on their ass.

Uh I think you're wrong about the whole courage thing. Have you ever been to the middle east? How do you think those people feel about transitioning children to another gender? I don't feel good about it and I'm not religious. There is a storm brewing and it ain't looking too hot.
What makes you better than them in that case?

I don't think any of them actually have the courage to do
anything except riot, and virtue signal. But wouldn't
visit a host city just in case. Prayer is our best protection,
be alert in your surroundings and have a means
of self defense. Never show fear.

Problem is they will attack civilians over military targets so its not war its revenge killings against people who literally have nothingnto do with the wrongs they are revenging. Like its never an attack against a military target or politicians...always against folks just trying to live life the best they can. Its those actions in both sides which further this type of violence. One side kills a bunch of innocents then the other and both just got more enraged. Its utter f%*&ing nonsense and everyone should be calling it out as often as possible. I can understand their anger and Israel's anger when its comes to this. I'd rather all the politicians who created this die than 1 innocent on either side...many of which don't have any choice or involvement.

If you treat people the way Israel/hamas (edit to include Hamas) has been for such a time lumping them all together regardless of if they are involved or not your are going to create enemies and foment hate. Just like the carpet bombing thats going on an Gaza now. Just like we felt with while fighting over there. Every innocent each side kills spawns a whole group of loved ones too hate the other side...mostly without reason or logic. Either side is guilty of his and it won't stop until we stop treating the fight in that manner. Hamas attack Israel and comit atrocities and Israel does the same...causing exponential numbers to foment that gate on both sides. It won't stop until either the cycle breaks or one or the other side is extinct. Which would you rather see?

i wouldn't be killing innocent babies and cutting off their heads, i''d be practiceing a eye for a eye for intentionally killing some one and the oine who enable them.
that's what make me better.
people that intentionally plan and execute murderous schemes and those that enable or give aid and comfort should die for their crimes. that is true justice, why should they live and be shown mercy when they showed none.
