So now fighting involves purposely torturing then killing people in wheelchairs? I fail to see exactly what this man's actions had to do with ANY cause. Jesus said you can tell a man by his actions....quote:
He was fighting for what he belived.
based on the evidence, He killed him.quote:
What would Jesus Do if he had the choice of killing him or forgiving him? I know the answer.

We will not know in our lifetimes if his beliefs are right or wrong.
We will may find out in the end.
As for wishing people dead "WHAT WOULD JESUS DO"
Let's see if I have this straight. Hijacking defenseless civilians and shooting them, right or wrong? That sure is a tough one, please get back to us when you figure it out.quote:

The whole middle east situation is rife with this moral equivalency foolishness. It's a smokescreen so terrorists can pretend they're something other than terrorists.quote:

Oh, I think you are being a bit harsh. One can push people in wheelchairs to their death with a clear conscience-as long as it is for a noble cause right?? Hmmmm... let me think about that for a second.quote:

It takes two words with which we are well familiar to put that in the correct perspective - Collateral Damagequote:

Hmm...maybe every civilized country on this Earth doesn't count. Maybe not in God's eyes....hey wait a minute even the Bible, Koran and the teachings of the first Buddha....tell us things about punishment fitting the crime.quote:
There is no scale saying Death is more of a sin than stealing..
I think you nailed it right....I want to set something straight here, because there seems to be a lot of assuming going on....I (and most Americans and Christians) harbor no ingrained hatred for Muslims, people of Arabic or middle eastern heritage. I have no hating rage for this guy's spirit/soul, and have nothing against his remaining relatives. I cannot say that is what makes "us" different from "them". I have no idea what this guy's relatives think. It does seem to me that many in the middle east are on hate "auto pilot"......quote:
He was under the belief that Americans are bad and the enemy. We are under the same assumption AlQuida is bad also
