Great information! Obviously the folks at CNN, ABC, NBC, etc have not stumbled on this page. Same with the politicians in D.C.

Is the tiger “right” to bite the guys hand off for a slap? – Probably not, but You shouldn’t play with tigers in the first place.

The Arabic world never asked to be “Saved” by USA.

USA should get all the money they put into killing other people in the name of freedom, and instead put it into fixing their broken aspects of their own society such as Education, Heath, Drink/Drug Abuse, Crime, The Depression Epidemic, and the Economy.

Meanwhile leave the middle east to fuck their own respective countries up.

• The Fear of terrorism is massively disproportional to the actual risk of terrorism.

You are more likely, as an innocent bystander, to be killed accidentally by a police officer, that to be killed by a terrorist.

by the way if you had a “Western morality which values human lives” as you put it, you’d realize that the War in Iraq has killed over 4500 AMERICAN people so far. More americans were killed in the war than all terrorist attacks in the last 10 years including 9/11.

Except this time the average age of the victims is 21 years old!

Not to mention the 655000 Iraqis

Then there’s Afganistan… but I won’t even go into that.

I think if you REALLY value human life and you take a minute to think about it, and stop buying the lies and giving into fear you’d see that there is a MUCH bigger threat to Americans (and the world) than Muslims etc:

The US government!

Everyone talks from a moral standpoint. It’s in the way you think and act.

The problem with having different morals? that depends. If the moral values are compatible or at least not interfering with one another it’s just fine.

The problem starts when you think that an attack by terrorist is a justified reaction to “sticking nose in others’ business” and I think it is completely unjustified never ever in any circumstances. But you can’t even understand my point of view because to you it looks legit and you have no idea how I can’t see how the US had it coming.

That is the problem. Our morality is not just different. It is incompatible. I cannot tell you which one is better because it changes based on the perspective of the viewer. From my point of view, my morality is superior. Obviously you think the same about yours. How do we solve this?

I’d just like to point out, I’m not Religious.

BTW what’s the “problem” with having different morals? – Try reading “The Genealogy of Morals” by Nietzsche.

Will has a Western morality which values human lives and sees suicide bombers as the most abhorrent form of terrorism. Influencing another’s society is lower in the scale of horrible.

jdlyndon has an Arab morality which values society being unchanged by external influence as the most abhorrent form of terrorism, and suicide bombing is a response on par.

THIS IS THE PROBLEM IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Not the “we have a different religion” but “we have a different set of moral values”.
