The point seems to be lost that our Afghan allies have the same Muslim religion as the Taliban nutjobs. The difference is that the Taliban are taking the religion to the violent extreme.
Think of the Taliban as Westboro Baptist Church nutjobs
Think of your average Afghan villager as your average Southern Baptist.
Both have the same basic religion but only one takes it to an extreme.
Our enemy is the Taliban .... not the entire population of Afghanistan that also happens to be Muslim.
In both World War I and World War II, the German belt buckles had the same motto: "Gott Mit Uns" .... "God Is With Us". By that, the German Government meant the Christian God.
Let's say a Jewish group during World War II wanted to protest the Nazis. What should they do? Attack the Nazis specifically or attack the Christian God that both the Nazis and majority of the Allies claim?
If they had decided to indesriminately attack the claimed religion of the Nazis by burning New Testaments and insulting Jesus Christ, the Jewish group would have ended up being hated by both the Nazis and by the Chriastian Allied population.
During World War II, the U.S. Government ridiculed Hitler. The U.S. Government did not ridicule Catholics because Hitler's mother raised him as a Catholic.
The bottom line is that you are using a cluster bomb when a sniper rifle is the weapon of choice. When you attack the enemy, you also have to consider the friendly fire implications of your weapon of choice.
