More on the collectivist death cult that is the religion of peace -- and the collectivist "journalists" who excuse it.

I'm sorry, but we have to talk about the barbarism of modern Islamist terrorism
What motivates this perversity? What are its origins? Unwilling, or perhaps unable, to face up to the newness of this unrestrained, aim-free, civilian-targeting violence, Western observers do all sorts of moral contortions in an effort to present such violence as run-of-the-mill or even possibly a justifiable response to Western militarism. Some say, “Well, America kills women and children too, in its drone attacks”, wilfully overlooking the fact such people are not the targets of America’s military interventions – and I say that as someone who has opposed every American venture overseas of the past 20 years. If you cannot see the difference between a drone strike that goes wrong and kills an entire family and a man who crashes his car into the middle of a group of children accepting sweets from a US soldier and them blows himself and them up – as happened in Iraq in 2005 – then there is something wrong with you. Other observers say that Islamists, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan, but also the individuals who attacked London and New York, are fighting against Western imperialism in Muslim lands. But that doesn’t add up. How does blowing up Iraqi children represent a strike against American militarism? How is detonating a bomb on the London Underground a stab at the Foreign Office? It is ridiculous, and more than a little immoral, to try to dress up nihilistic assaults designed merely to kill as many ordinary people as possible as some kind of principled political violence.

One thing willfully overlooked by the author of this article is the above.

The USG has most definitely targeted children...even US citizens without due process.

While I'm in no way condoning Islamic jihad and the barbarous killings these men have inflicted on Christians.....maybe, just maybe, our own government is a special kind of evil and is partly to blame (not solely) for Muslim hatred of Americans.

Oh of course it is America that is evil. I get so tired of you assholes saying that we are the bad guys here. Yes we have done some very shitty things but you cannot even compare it to the madness that is Islam.
Accounts coming out of Nairobi are telling tales of extreme brutality, torture, and pure blood lust. Sharpening fingers like a pencil and making you write with your own blood before killing you. Gouged out eyes, decapitation, castration, slow torturous death and of course rape.
These animals need to be swept from the Earth, bring back the Crusades and chase these nut jobs to the ends of the Earth.
This madness is coming here are you ready to have your daughter raped because she was at the mall at the wrong time by these subhumans?

A distinction that is, no doubt, lost on the relatives of the family killed. All they know is that an invader professing a different religion than theirs, is killing their people, stealing their oil and turning their governments into puppets of the Empire. To expect a restrained response in the face of such crimes is madness.

Don't like Muslim terrorism? Stop terrorizing Muslims.

Of course, those in the US government actually WANT Muslim terrorism. It keeps them in power and it keeps us enslaved to a corrupt and vile government.
