Those people committed suicide.

It should also be noted how vague the word “mischief” is. While the word “murder” is pretty precise, the word “mischief” could well mean anything that causes Muslim grievances, including ridicule. After all, did the “holy prophet” himself not order the assassination of poets that mocked him?
Of course, in this context it becomes clear that, for instance, the brutal butchery of Theo van Gogh is Quran-sanctioned, and so would a succesful attempt Geert Wilders or Ayaan Hirsi Ali be.

[Good point also made in the column cited:”“Spreading mischief,’ whatever that entails, qualifies as a reason to slay a person. Unjust killing is clearly not too circumscribed an activity.”]

Nevertheless, I see no biblical reason for Christians involved in such pursuits to risk their care of their own families (will someone please correct me if I am wrong.) I don’t know if that applies to the individuals who died in Afghanistan. If they were, in fact, motivated by the love of Jesus Christ and laid down their lives in His service, how disgusting the secular spin (“Terror has no religion!”) placed on their deaths.

“Mass murderers” NEVER KILL PEOPLE until after they redefine their opponents as non-human first and then eradicate them – e.g. the Eskimos (Nazis) merely eliminated lice and vermin.

Meanwhile – another heart-wrenching tale of Islamic compassion. 4 year old Mohammed Abu Mustafa of Gaza needed bone-marrow treatment so he received it in the evil “Zionist entity” with the $ 55,000 operation paid by an Israeli who lost his son in battle. The mother was berated by her “peaceloving” Gaza neighbors for having her son operated in Israel but she replied that it was important to save little Mohammed’s life so that he could grow up to be a SUICIDE BOMBER. (I don’t have enough imagination to make up this crap!). See:

Any private American/European/Israeli who wants to volunteer to “enlighten”/help the Ummah (and not hurt civilized humanity) should be free to do so at their OWN personal risk and expense without an inflated dollar or American life expended wasted in the futility. Get our troops out of that Afghan sewer NOW.

Religion of Peace = REST IN PEACE = “Peace Process”

Hillary reminds me of the scene in Judgment at Nuremberg when Richard Widmark said “There are no Nazis in Germany. Didn’t you know that, Judge? The Eskimos invaded Germany and took over. That’s how all those terrible things happened. It wasn’t the fault of the Germans. It was the fault of the damn Eskimos.”

Well, we seem to have a DE FACTO Islam (kill infidels) and a DE JURE Islam (love humanity) just like a THEORETICAL Communism (peace & brotherhood) and an ACTUAL Communism (gulags and poverty). Even in America, we have a DE JURE Constitution of limited government, state sovereignty, and
individual liberties, and legislative-passed laws and a DE FACTO Constitution
of unlimited government, national uniformity, a regulatory/surveillance monolith, and arbitrary executive Czars.

People need to live in the REAL world. The people coming back in body bags from the hellhole of Afghanistan are really dead – and killed by REAL Moslems
(like Hamas, Parisian rioters, Maj. Hasan, Sirhan Sirhan, Al Queda, Atta, Wahabbi hatemongers, Somali pirates, genocidal Sudanese, Hezbollah, Chechen terrorists, etc.).
