I wonder if their government is subsidizing them in some way. But also looking at it most of them are on apartment buildings so it may just be that every tennant in the building chips in to a common fund to get them installed so they get lower electricity costs. Pretty smart investment since those panels last for decades and the cost will be covered way before they reach end of life.

    Correct, it's the other big islamist group, al-Qaeda.

    Either you are misinformed, an idiot or just racist.

    I'm neither. You're the misinformed one here, and the people who downvoted me as well. Go to the link you provided.

    Yes, they split several years ago. Insofar I have exaggerated. Are they substantially better in terms of authorianism and religious fundamentalism? I seriously doubt it.

    Al Qaeda and Isis aren’t the same thing, even acknowledging al-Sharaa was a part of al-Qaeda for several years and Al Nusra is just a spin off of AQ. Al Nusra and Isis have been fighting one another for over a decade.
