Military power or the Zeal for Allah - who will win?

So, you now have a mini-war:

This is not a conflict that will be over in 2 weeks with victory for the US and her allies.
It is a war that will drag on.
So the question stands:

Who will win - military power or the zeal for Allah.

Keep an an eye on this war. It will be a sore that will open up more and more and fester more and more until the smell becomes so bad that it will reach your living room.
