#1 Muslims seem to have a serious problem with the concept of "winning" and "losing".

To win takes in many considerations, to lose is usually a pretty clear cut case. All over the Arab world I see them struggling with these concepts, claiming victory in the middle of a destroyed town, littered with the dead of their clan. A war is not one battle, a win is not always clear for either side. It seems very important to the muslim psyche to proclaim a win, even when they have very little to be bragging about, or even when they have obviously lost.
