The “area” was Chechnya, a province of Russia with a substantial Muslim population.

The Prime Minister was stating a widely held, but erroneous view of the West, history and geopolitics. The Crusades were traumatic for Muslims as the Europeans were not only military threats to the Muslim holy places, but the Christians were particularly brutal even to Richard the Lionhearted butchering unarmed prisoners of war who had surrendered. This aggression by some countries in Europe under the Christian “banner” is associated, to this day with Christianity and any primarily Christian nation is therefore just poised to attack and expel Islam from the Middle East. Mahathir therefore saw the American attack on Afghanistan and later Iraq as just an extension of the Crusader zeal whose object is to destroy Islam. Malaysia has a large population of Muslims—much larger than any of the Middle Eastern Islamic states. Yet, religiously oriented Islamic political leaders make common cause with other Muslim nations which have almost no other interest in common other than their religion.
This quotation is used by the moderate Egyptians and other moderate Arab leaders as well as Israelis and other experts in combating Islamic Fundamentalism to illustrate the thinking process of the Muslim fundamentalist terrorist leader. They are more than willing to sacrifice those they lead (though rarely themselves) if they think that something is to be gained. But if there is nothing to be gained, their “moral” responsibility requires not “wasting” their followers’ lives. Therefore, the way these experts believe they should deal with the radicals is to face them with overwhelming force (a variant of the Powell Doctrine) and never concede anything or let them gain anything from violence. A single concession makes the terrorism, sacrifice and violence worthwhile, but if there is no gain, the leader has wasted the lives of his followers and is less likely to initiate another attack.

After years of minority Sunni Muslim rule of Iraq, the U. S. invasion gave the majority Shiite Muslims political control. The Sunnis and Shiites have been at each others throats for centuries despite the fact that they are both Muslims. Saudi Arabia is the center of Sunni Islam and many of its religious extremists issue edicts advocating the suicide bombing of Shiite mosques and other facilities and assuring martyrdom for the suicide bombers.
The Nigerian Government was very slow in making a policy to protect communities against the Boko Haram, fundamentalist Islamic terrorists. The Nigerian army was totally corrupt with no interest in risking their lives, so they would rarely go after the terrorists or interpose themselves between the terrorists and their targets even when they had advance knowledge.
Sudan openly used Islamic terrorists to attack, rape and murder animist and Christian civilians in Darfur. The leaders were wanted for war crimes and openly admitted to many. See {641655}.
The health infrastructure of Nigeria was up to the job of containing the Ebola epidemic of 2014, but the police and military, notoriously corrupt, had not joined their services to fight and risk their lives, and would not do so, thus allowing Boko Haram, a radical Islamic terrorist group to thrive in the North of the country where there was a large Muslim population. Finally, in 2015 the government moved against Boko Haram but only with partial success.
In the Asymmetric Warfare the insurgent “wins” a battle by surviving even if the insurgent takes massive casualties. As long as some exist—they can recruit and expand.
