Oh, I'm talking about how it works in practice, not in theory or the distant past. Not only does salmon108 seek vengeance against the family, but right here on PDF is where I learned that in the P.A.'s offensive in Swat they targeted not just the terrorists but the relatives of those who sheltered them link. And in Iraq the kids of those wanted by the authorities were executed under Saddam link and arrested under the current Iraqi regime. link So you can see where my generalization comes from.
Yeah your right. One can easily generalize the 1.6 biliion muslims with three examples. The first: A layman whos speaking out of anger and not acting upon it. The second: A military force hell bent on subduing terrorist uprisings and that too with unconfirmed reports. And the third: A dictator who was acknowledgedly an american puppet and more hated and despised by his own nation and the Muslim world than anyone....(all the examples not holding any wait with regards to Islam, people who happened to be Muslims and are by no means representatives of Islam except on the very personal level)....For the crimes of one charge everyone else who is associated with him........Oh wait! Isnt this exactly why you were criticizing Salaman108?.......woooopssss........
And then theres the matter of Israeli forces killing innocent children everyday by the dozens, taking their land and still killing them more, while all the while being staunchly supported, backed and defended by the Israeli government and more importantly the Jewish population living in Israel (a Jewish theocracy hence an actual representative of Judaism)....Now this is an example, dear Solomon, which does not give refuge to any generalization. Here is indeed the value difference you so desperately wanted.
Now do not derail the thread. Message me if you must. This is my first thread and I want it to go well.
