Don't get me wrong, if that fear slows them down or prevents them from murdering others, I am glad at some point they become pussies.
It’s really no different than Western governments warning their soldiers against contracting VD. If you’re sick in hospital, you can’t be out in the field killing other people. It isn’t about being fearless, it’s about maintaining force levels.

Um no. In the west non fundies have a self preservation mindset that overrides religious leanings. Even with Imperial Japan, and Hitler, Isis has the mindset "at all costs". Indoctrinate enough people en mass, they don't care about the risks. By Isis logic, it is "all or nothing". So by their logic a virus should not stop them. Isis, like Hitler and Japan all had the same scorched earth mindset.
Logic should have, for example prevented Hitler from invading Russia. But once you buy and sell a utopian superiority, you can get humans to take risks beyond reason.
"At all costs" is the mindset of Isis, so why a virus would stop them defies their own logic.
I get what you are saying, it is about tactic. But it still defies their own logic.
