Well, if they said it was key to it, would it be Islamic? I think not.
Not in any meaningful sense, anyway.

If that be the case...then it's simply a tool.
I can use a hammer to build a house...or beat your brains out. Nothing inherent to hammers in either case.

There's nothing inherent to hammers..because you could build a house, or beat someones head in with them? I don;t think you understand what that word means...and I fear that you're butchering your truths in the translation.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Not my gig, you're the koan man, not I.

Person A might disagree with that assessment.

By what method(s) do you presume to know or question A's self-identity?
