What? Who views it as this?
I have no evidence for that, nor an interest in trying to prove it, since it wasn't really relevant to any points I was making. It's worded way too strongly anyway - I only meant to say that the US government is motivated by Christians/Christianity. That would effect the military, but I did not mean to indicate the military was any special case.

The question asks whether a violent act with non-military targets is justified as an act of defence.
I understand the need to reword the question, but I think you're rewording it incorrectly. to put it in a more general sense, I think it should ask "whether a violent act in defense of your group, directed at targets not directly responsible for the original threat, is justified." the point being is that the suicide bombing isn't just bad because it's killing civilians, but it's bad because it's killing people that have next to nothing to do with the stated "threat."I don't really feel like getting into this argument though, just wanted to point that out. I personally think brv is way underestimating the level of crazy available in most american christians.

http://people-press....-for-extremism/According to this 2009 Pew Report, there are 2,454,000 Muslims living in America. If this article is correct and 8% of American Muslims justify suicide bombings and other forms of violence, that comes out to 196,320 Muslims in America that think that suicide bombings are a pretty good idea.
Whats really scary in this poll is that 68% of muslims in palestine answer sometimes or often to this question.Living in America can mitigate some of the crazier aspects of Islam.

That's a solid rewording. And given the lack of outcry at the bombing of non-military targets by the US, (really? No one has asked me for a reference on this yet? Alright.) I think many Americans answering this in the negative would be hypocritical.

It's hard to identify 'military targets' in wars like this.We should get the hell out of there and leave those stupid monkeys to live in peace, but I think the apathy towards what happens over there has more to do with the US being the Alpha in that fight and our having to live up to the nature of those types of wars and all associated consequences. Everyone else enjoys the luxury of being the sideline critic.Besides. You're a Canadian and a Jew. The only way for the world to care any less about your opinion is if you turned black and shrunk into a midget.

Nobody would take offense to that because everyone knows you take pleasure at making racist statements, and the post itself was vague and meaningless.I'm actually really short, and pretty dark-skinned as is. So not far from the quartet.

So wait, now the party line is that the war is to grant freedom to Muslims? If so, I'm sure there are a few dozen other countries in the world that could use some help. Sucks that Africa has no oil or terrorists, coincidentally.

The thing is, when a story like this comes out, we as Americans don't condone the killing of civilians. If our military makes a terrible mistake, or worse yet does it on purpose, we actually gather the facts and prosecute the monsters when possible. We don't put bombs in places to maximize civilian casualties. We don't celebrate murderers as martyrs.I'll say this and challenge you as I have in the past: if that story from over 7 years ago is true, and if our military knowingly targeted women and children, then I condemn their actions and think they should be prosecuted. Now I challenge you to condemn the actions of suicide bombers and others who purposely attack markets and other civilian targets. I challenge you condemn the actions of the men who brutalize, maim, and kill women and children in the name of their religion. I challenge you to at least condemn the actions described in the stories as linked above by brvheart
