Burning at the stake is bad. Bombing 100,000 civilians is bad. But where do you draw the line for unacceptably bad? Because in terms of atrocity, what IS has done doesn't even begin to compare to what we have. Who are we to judge?

It's not a matter of "bias" or "perspective" -- it's a matter of "they walk among us and want to kill us".
It's very worthwhile to note those that support that and for those who disagree with their Jihad to understand that it's here and it's now.

I spent almost 3 years on Muslim websites and felt somewhat secure in the knowledge that the CIA/FBI was reading and tracking the same things I was reading. I don't feel secure today when I read this garbage on American websites, and know that there are many that actively support this Jihad.

It's our Transformed America.
Random incidents, Workplace violence, Christian Crusades and all we need are "Jobs Programs".
Scary Times and Scary people. People need to be aware of those that support this barbarism, they make no attempt anymore to even hide it. They revel in it.

Who says it shouldn't be condemned? I'm asking why it is that they are supposed to be held to a different standard than we are?

Furthermore, when we use drone strikes, innocent people die by accident--innocents always die in war, past, present and future. Sad but true. We are aiming to kill terrorists. On the other hand, Muslim terrorists aim to kill innocent people. That is the difference between the West and Islamic extremists.
They do not die "by accident". We know they are going to die. We know innocent people sitting in their homes not bothering us in any way are going to be killed. How exactly is that better?

We didn't kill thousands and thousands women in children "by accident" in Japan. It was done to send terror into them.

Not much. We may one day in the future get into a war with Russia. Why are we not killing them now?
