I’m not a politician or a jihadi so I have no answer for your question.
I only have the common sense that God gave all of us.

“Taleban hang 7-year-old boy to punish family”
Jerome Starkey, Kandahar
SNIPPET: “Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand, said that the killing happened days after the boys grandfather, Abdul Woodod Alokozai, spoke out against militants in their home village.
Mr Ahmadi said: His grandfather is a tribal elder in the village and the village is under the control of the Taleban. His grandfather said some good things about the Government and he formed a small group of people to stand against the Taleban. Thats why the Taleban killed his grandson in revenge.
The attack happened in Heratiyan, in Sangin, near where insurgents shot down an American Pave Hawk helicopter on Wednesday, killing all four crew.
The helicopter was swooping over the town to suppress attacks on a grounded air ambulance, which was picking up British casualties.
Shamsuddin Khan Faryie, an elder in Heratiyan, said that the boy, identified as the son of Abul Qudooz, was seized as he played in his garden. He was found hanged from a nearby tree.”
