Platt:
I also assumed one defines "civilization" by the degree to which those
moral codes were followed. You apparently take a broader view to
include any group who believes in the rightness of their cause, such as
Islamic zealots who have repeatedly shown their willingness to get to
heaven--a heaven where 70 virgins await each matyr--by committing
murder even as they commit suicide. I do not consider such groups
civilized at all. They need to be exterminated.
Platt, will you please watch yourself? i know you don't mean to connote what you do, but it still concerns me. Islam has nothing to do with the 70 virgins belief and it condemns all of these terrorist acts. Islam does give martyrs special status in Heaven, but does not award this status to suicide bombers and terrorists. Do you refer to the KKK as Christians?
And it's not like America hasn't murdered innocents for less than worthy causes. Continually bombing Iraq for no other reason than to get to Sadaam, hoping they would be lucky enough to know where the hell he even was, for example. Oh, but they're not a democratic country like us, are they? Nevermind then, their dead civilians don't mean anything. If the US has known that Sadaam gasses his own people, and has known this for the last decade, then why don't they try and reinstate a new leader under a democratic government? I guess it's easier to just bomb the country.
