Where do they find the willing "jihadi brother"?

That, evidently, is not the difficult part.   You may discover the import of my question by reading here how Islamic clerics parse the morality of sodomy operations for the sake of martyrdom operations.   You will find that Islamic clerics parsing the morality of sodomy operations for the sake of martyrdom operations overcome the moral difficulties with wondrous ease.  The Islamic clerics then dash more or less headlong to the conclusion that sodomy operations for the sake of martyrdom operations are morally fine.  They don't even pause to consider the moral difficulties, much less the theoretical non-existence, of the willing "jihadi brother."   One therefore suspects that Islamic clerics are well aware that willing "jihadi brothers" not only exist in abundance, but, rather like the Islamic clerics themselves, need no assistance in overcoming their moral difficulties.

By comparison, those mythical scholastic debates about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin sound so, well, wholesome.
