I need to bust that out in conversation one day: "You know, islamically speaking, you may have a point." or something like that.
so when exactly has anyone on this board or in this thread said it's ok to go kill innocent civilians.
No, it's hypocritical of Muslim nations to say it's wrong to kill innocent civilians. By actively supporting these terrorists with funding and places to hide out, that's exactly what they're doing. Most of these countries have been invovled in oppressing their own citizens or neighbors in very recent times. The Muslims who decry possible US attacks act like these Middle Eastern nations are Mr Rogers or something. These are some of the most violent governments in the world. It's quite obvious that the level of Muslim interest in the Middle East goes to another level anytime the US is involved in anything. Apparently they seem to be just fine with how it is there otherwise. You're trying to compare things that Sharon said with the 7,000 people that were actually killed. Talk is cheap and Sharon apparently talks a lot.
