Jihadists advocate the killing of people innocent of any crimes in the name of a crusade or as punishment via proxy to those actually guilty of real or imagined trangressions...exactly what dennisw advocates.
Sadly, dennis is representative of the kind of mentality that abounds in the Middle East which perpetuates all these revenge killings, crusades, and jihads.
I don't have to prove that Islam is a religion, I don't care whether it is or not. However, if you wish to invalidate First Amendment rights from Muslims, then it incumbent upon YOU to prove that the 12 million American Muslims are guilty of any wrongdoing coming about as a result of their religion. We do not do guilt by association in American Courts.
Meanwhile, you must equally explain how exactly these Chechen terrorists are worthy of any punishment imaginable for killing 150 children, but Americans are NOT guilty of the genocide of abortion, killing one million unborn yearly in the U.S and calling it choice.
If you want to run off to the mountains and spend the rest of your life in a commune worshiping the Great Celestial Marshmallow and the Seven Virginal Gherkins you go right ahead, if someone in your commune commits a crime, whether in the name of the Marshmallow or not, that person, and that person alone, will be arrested and tried for a crime. If the commune did not participate in the crime, they will not be prosecuted, nor found guilty by association.
THAT'S how we do things in the U.S.
