I've been wondering

Why is it that terrorist propaganda videos littering the internet have them brandishing weapons?
Some go as far as standing on top 20ft rockets while holding ak47s. I don't get it and have searched google for the answer but alas it seems no one has asked. What is the symbolism of these weapons?

Some pictures for your consideration.









[EDIT]

More pictures to counter a certain accepted stereotype wink

That's their life, they only use force and guns to preach their own gospel

But hitler and his followers never posed behind guns, all he did was speak in commanding tones and it worked as effectively as gun brandishing terrorists.

What are the weapons supposed to mean? There must be a reason.

In who, followers, opponents or both?

The Germans under Hitler instilled fear without show of force so how come this is a recent development?
I've never seen a North Korean propaganda video with Kim Jung Un addressing soldiers while holding a firearm so what makes terrorists different?
