ZoH: Why the hell are you debating? He wasn't accusing you of anything.

I really doubt if that comment was intended to accuse the religious in general of anything, Juliet.

It's a pity how violent people can be. And over what? [/quote]Bolt, do you have any idea what an enormous, almost infinitely diverse group of people you're cramming into the word "religion" when you accuse it of just about everything imaginable? Are you dumping me into the same miserable category as these monsters simply because I, too, happen to believe in divine power? That is just asinine. We're all angry about this, but I can assure you that I take neither responsibility for nor pride in what these categorymates of mine have done, so there's no reason to take your anger out on me. Remember that, because of my faith, these people would love to see me dead as well. [/quote]Some of those who want forces are the same that want crosses. Killing in the name of.

You guys have to realise that this man was working for Apache, who makes military helicopters, which they are fighting against. Also remember that Bush makes constant statements that "We are at war!" This makes this man a prisoner of war in my books. Taking him "hostage" is not terrorism, because he was making helicopters that these people were fighting against! Killing him (especially the brutal beheading part) was terrorism, but I would have no problem if they held him for years, which the US does to many people.

What in the hell are you talking about? Was there that much hidden subtext in my 10 words?

Everyone was making a big deal abotu "the evil terrorists" before they killed him as well.

Well, they were threatening to do it in 72 hours (and the did, too).

You know, there are some times when it still applies.
