The real irony is that while everybody expresses outrage at the torture of the kitten, more than a few FR posters wouldn't think twice if a Muslim were being grilled in the same way. Apparently the best way to eliminate the Taliban is to emulate them.

,,, good point. What we're seeing on this thread is the manifestation of civilisation over-applied in regard to the kitten. No need to bring the Taliban into it - duplicate BBQ behaviour has been suggested by those who have taken offense. By offering a view like that of Rob Roy's (note that he said this horrific act was wrong), some posters have placed him as a virtual accomplice to the act. They've been unable to effectively separate the abstract (the story) from reality.

And I can't imagine why...

At least the Moslem could fight back.

I'm against anybody (or any living creature) being tortured to death. Yes, it's okay to kill animals for food, or humans out of self-defense, but any killing that needs to be done should be accomplished as quickly and painlessly as possible.

NO, the best way to eliminate the Taliban, if they are unwilling to live peaceably, is to... eliminate them.

It's like shooting a mountain lion in self defense, not like grilling a kitten.
