Please read my statement again. As far as I know, the U.S. and its
allies haven't threatened to kill all Muslims.

O, I'm sorry. You're talking about threats, not actions. Ok, let's
forget for a moment that any rational person might be justified in
interpreting murderous actions as threats....
According to your interpretaion of the MOQ, if your next door
neighbor throws open his window and shouts at you to turn down your
Rachmaninoff, and if you don't he's gonna kill you and your dog, the
moral thing for you to do would be to pre-emptively blow up his house
and family?
Your non-threatening friend,
