"BUT, we will NOT engage in barbaric acts, we will not slaughter innocents because they live in the same space as the perpetrators or, however tangentially, worship the same God."

Yes, Jeff...........unfortunately, we will. That's called "war". "War" is ugly. "War" is unjust and nondiscriminatory. "War" no longer differentiates between combatants and non-combatants; soldiers and civilians. THAT is called "modern warfare". I know that you are offended by the very thought, but what I'm telling you is that THIS will be the result, THIS will be the consequence of these terrorists' horrific actions.

They've had it coming for a long, long time. They have never given a damn about the impact on their fellow Muslims or fellow countrymen. No...........they have been so blinded by their hatred AND supported by loud, cheering throngs of fellow Muslims that they have dedicated themselves to our destruction......damn the consequences.

Therefore, your frustration is noble (no, I'm not in the least being sarcastic with you) and understandable, but mis-aimed.

I know war is brutal, and that it kills those who don't deserve to die. But our target should be those responsible for the destruction. People unrelated to the massacre in NY and DC will die, that's true. But we have to be very very careful about painting all Muslims as "The Enemy." And I think we need to target our wrath with as much precision as possible.

I'm not accusing you of this, but the level of anti-Muslim hatred I'm seeing on this board and others is disturbing. Hell, I've seen calls on this board (deleted, thankfully) for Americans to take revenge on American muslims.

And again, take a good look at this photo. Not all Muslims, even Palestinians, hate us.
