Let me ask you this: Isn't it perfectly justified to hate those who attack our nation and murder thousands of our countrymen?
Very good question. When you say "those" which individuals exactly are you referring to? Do you have their names and addresses? When you say "murder" what was the exact nature of the crime?
What do you mean, 'what was the exact nature of the crime'? Can you not guess, by the very phrase "murder thousands", WHAT I was talking about? If not, let me clarify: http://www.history.com/topics/9-11-at...
Dennis, Thank you. The people who committed those crimes are dead, including the man who fed them a diet of hate and funded their crimes.
Not ALL of them, by any means not all of them! There are still tens of thousands of them lurking around worldwide (mostly in the middle east, but also in many other places as well), and until ALL of them are killed, justice will not be done! The simple truth is, EVERY member and supporter of Al-Qaida and ANY AND ALL of its affiliates (Taliban, ISIS, Al-Shabbab, etc.) is JUST AS GUILTY of the 9/11 attacks as the ones who had flown the jumbo jets into the buildings themselves, and they must ALL be hunted down and exterminated!
Nancy wrote: "Dennis, Thank you. The people who committed those crimes are dead, including the man who fed them a diet of hate and funded their crimes."If by, "the man who fed them on a diet of hate and funded their crimes" you are referring to Osama bin Laden, I would say that you should rephrase with "one of the men who fed them on a diet of hate.
Osama was not alone in this, there are many leaders just like him who continue to feed many more with the same hatred.
These people based it on a direct reading of the Qur'an, therefore, you could say "two of the men that fed them...." and include Mohammad.
So, to take this to Dennis' original question, I will expand...if you know that someone wants to kill you without even knowing you simply because you do not believe as he does, would hating them be unjustified?
Thanks, gentlemen. I think you have made your viewpoint clear.
