Hunpecked is right in the sense that they would have brainwiped him prior to getting the information and then executing him which again would have been added in there if I had not been in a rush.

As far as the "death threat" it wasn't quite a threat as she blew a guys head off right in front of the "Prophet" just for the hell of it by as far as any of those men could tell, they probobly wouldn't realize that she had done it to the man she had spoken too on the com.

Also the resistance would have quickly claimed a the majority of the truely "faithful" and the brainwashed could undergo a minor version of a brainwipe to clear their porgramming and allow them their senses back.
The remaining faithful would probobly have at least tried to commit suicide or have given up when they realized their "conclave" and their "prophet" were all executed aboard the flagship of the so called "Infidel" fleet.

As it comes ot Al Quaeda/Religious Nut Leaders as many have said Bin Laden does not truely have faith in that he is doing God's work he makes a hell of a lot of money out of his terrorism and as far as he is concerned is running a buisness that just happens to have a higher then normal body count.
Some times those who do not truely have faith in a cult they created or a religion they are claiming certainly know how to exploit those people who do truely have faith.

I was trying to get the point that the so called "Prophet" was exploiting an entire world's fears about being alone in the universe after they were totally cut off from their Empire's people without so much as a skiff to go around, and that he was pretty much figuring that the Icarans wouldn't dare attack a world that throw their own children strapped with bombs at your soldiers.
He didn't really take into account the fact that Icarans have that attitude of "You do us wrong and we are going to come in and break your head open." unlike certain US presidents who have the attitude of "Oh no a bomb lets run away from the whole damn country" LOL.
