It is impossible for me to adequately describe the clueless Libtard Moron who wrote this piece of crap equating a special forces hero to a Muzzie terrorist without getting banned from Free Republic for life!

Imagine the following scenario: a young Muslim from the Islamic world joins his country’s armed forces to fight an aggressive war against an overwhelmingly Christian nation. He gains accolades for his work as a sniper, executing his job with ruthless efficiency and little remorse. He admits to viewing the war he is fighting through the prism of religion. He gets a tattoo on his arm declaring that he embraces the concept of holy war. When parliamentarians in his own country question the conduct or course of the war, he states, “How would they know? They’ve never even been in a combat situation.” After shooting someone whose widow claims he was holding a Bible rather than a gun, he answers, “I don’t shoot people with Bibles. I’d like to, but I don’t.”
How would this person be described when his story was recounted in the western press? That’s easy: He’d be described as an Islamic fundamentalist—aggressive, dangerous, and intent on evil.
Now let’s also imagine that this man was widely embraced back home: That he became the author of a bestselling book, and served as a symbol of strength used by politicians to pursue their own ends. How would the culture that lauded this man be described? Well, that too is easy. It would be said that this man’s Muslim country was full of fanatics, and, moreover, that fanaticism more broadly was celebrated—or at least not condemned—by large segments of the population.

The societal failing is deeper than veteran’s care. Here was a man who, as Schmidle puts it, “was deeply religious and saw the Iraq War through that prism.” Think about what that could be possibly mean, and how we would view someone from another culture who had similar sentiments.

Why even bother to comment on this lunatic’s logical fallacy. Clearly he needs medical attention.
The old New Republic line of Christians not living up to their code but listen to us we are morally superior and we will guide you into a blissful utopia upon Earth once you renounce your previous coda. Would someone in his community please tell this idiot writer at NR that that line of thinking has an expiration date, which is soon approaching.
If the author, Isaac Chotiner, had balls we’d still call him a wimp.
mister chotiner... be afraid... very afraid. SEALS are now angry... AT YOU!

i have no words.. this isn’t even apples and oranges, more like apples and used toilet paper (which is about all this article is good for).
Did he murder innocent civilians as his GOAL?
That’s the difference between a Christian and a Muslim.
Sounds like a european. The US doesn’t have “parliamentarians”.
Of course, no liberal is going to see this, but to whoever wrote this pos, there’s one HUGE difference between Chris Kyle and any Muslim terrorist: He targeted enemy combatants, using force and intelligence, while the Muzzi terrorists target civilians in a non-theater of war with low intelligence and suicide vests.

Corrected Headline:
Since Chris Kyle is a Christian Navy SEAL, Isaac Chotiner Calls him an Extremist
Utter trash. I mean, complete, total, idiotic trash. Both the article and the man who wrote it.
Isn’t this what most whacko-bird liberals believe? Hubby’s niece stayed with us briefly a few years ago. She was fresh out of college with her psychology and women’s studies degree from what was once a reputable institution of higher learning. She informed us that men like Kyle suffer from a Jesus Christ complex. I don’t know who they want to fight and to protect them. Maybe in their Utopian minds, they think that all evil will disappear if our evil Jesus Christ complex heroes disappear.
That Lebanese guy who bashed a 10 year old Jewish girl’s brains out with a rifle was given a hero’s welcome when released by Israel. To try to make a moral equivalent here is so outrageous!
Let’s look at who Chris Kyle shot - the people who taught him what the enemy was like:
A Muslim mother who pulled the pin on a grenade, with her child next to her, planning to detonate it as American soldiers passed;
a Muslim father, hiding behind his very young daughter so that her body would protect him;
Many, many Muslim terrorists who were trying to kill American soldiers to prevent us from stabilizing their country . . .
That’s a bunch of cra*. Has the writer of this read the kookran? I don’t think so.
And if Obama were a German we'd call him a Nazi.
You left out “and the publication who chose to run it.”
One could only wish. This brings the stupidity of his comparison to light. If he had said this about a Muslim hero, he would have the Seal’s counterpart after him. Since he said this about a Christian soldier, he will only receive a little disdain.
Yeah, and if he endorsed stoning his wife to death and just generally lived with a dark ages mentality, then we would call him a muslim.
You can wish in one and crap in the other.....
