Quote:


The difference between Christian violence and terrorist violence seems to be the level of detachment by the perpetrator of the violent act. Xtian from far away, Muslims, in your face and personal. For example, you're riding on Muni and a guy gets on with explosives strapped to his body and detonates it during the morning rush. You are killed or injured. Transport this scenario to Fallujah. You're on the bus and a US F-18 is overhead and the pilot decides that your bus looks like a military target so he launches an air to ground missle and blows the shit out of your bus. You are killed or injured. In what way is this different from what happened in San Francisco. Either way, you are fucked. The Muslim terrorist committed suicide for the greater glory of Allah. You looked him in the eye before the explosion. The Xtian pilot was 10 miles away and 5000 feet above you. One perp goes to the morgue in pieces, the other returns to base and drinks beers with his buddies. In a moral sense, what differentiates these two?



It's all a question of your beliefs and culture. Whilst the suicide bomber sounds like a heartless killer to us, he's a saint to his people. As for the pilot... well, we don't talk about that kind of mistake on the news, so shhhhhh
