I think that should be simple enough to understand since anything more insightful would require some degree of knowledge and thought, which if far beyond the capabilities of folks who prefer to reductionist arguments.

You really do have some kind of problem with liberals.

I wonder of you could write a single post without mentioning them, is it possible?

Ideologues are so tiresome.

What abotu the DAILY instances of it happening in the muslim world?
Christians kill innocent muslims everyday. They just do it the cowardly way with Drones under the guise of war.

Anyway, those people are extremist not real muslims but that would take someone to think beyond what they're spoonfed.

I guess one of the problems is that unlike with other religions there is no real organization in Islam, no Pope or Dalai Lama so to speak, who could condemn such acts and declare them un-Islamic. Basically anyone can interpret the Koran the way he wants to and pick out the worst of it in order to justify their deeds. There might be the feeling among many ordinary Muslims that saying anything against people who pretend to act on behalf of Islam, is like betraying their own religion and taking the side of the unbelievers.

Okay, let's presume what you say is true, which it is not. Are you suggesting NATO forces targets innocent muslims like muslim terrorists do?

or are they targetting terrorists but perhaps make an error?

Do you see a difference? If you don't, then people who accidentally kill others should always be charged with murder, including car accidents, malpractice, or any other kind of accident.

PS: And liberals have problems with drones because there's no chance the US pilot can get killed. What does it matter if it's a piloted airplane or a drone, other than that it's "not fair! the American pilot can't get killed!"

I'm saying it's only liberals, the far far left ones, the hate america types, that dislike drones because there's no american to get killed possibly. They think it's "not fair" that no american's life is at risk.

I don't like drones, either. Simply because they open the door to very unfair wars and abuse.
