— The U.S. military and the Afghan government said Thursday they will investigate a TV report that claimed U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan burned the bodies of two Taliban (search) fighters and taunted other Islamic militants.
and the problem with this? My only problem is that they didn't stuff their bodies full of bacon and shit down there throats first. |

Racism's Awesome! It helps when you explain to people how much you hate them over totally arbirary cultural differences. Not that it matters, since ideally we should just kill anyone who's different from us before they get a chance to hate us... everything's easier that way. |

If hating terrorists (and Taleban) is racist, then I'm a racist. BURN BABY BURN! U seem to be sympathizing with the enemy... interesting.... |

I was mostly referring to the quote about bacon, which has fuck-all to do with terrorism, unless you've already made the assumption that muslim === terrorist. That's bigoted because it's false. I'm not naive enough to believe this kind of thing doesn't happen, and honestly, I'm pretty ambivalent to what people do to dead bodies. I've never bought into the philosophy that it matters. They're not people any more, regardless of wether they were good or evil in life. So the "desecration" argument doesn't *really* strike me as such a big deal. This is, for example, 1000000 times less of a problem than what happened at Abu Ghraib. As for sympathizing with the enemy, my comment was meant to draw out your religious intolerance. If you believe all muslims are "the enemy" then yes, in fact, I sympathize with them. If that makes me a terrorist too, well, guilty as charged. |
