War.... (Historical: 9/11 discussion thread)

[geoschmo]

I do not support attacks against Arab Americans in "retaliation" for what happened yesterday. Anybody supporting that would be as ignorant and evil as the people who perpetrated this act.

Not all Islamic people are terrorists. In fact no true follower of Islam could support the taking of an innocent life.

That being said I am sickened and outraged by the images of Palestinian people dancing and celebrating these attacks.

Regardless of American support for Israel, nobody has EVER seen footage of Americans dancing in the street when Israeli soldiers kill Palestinians. In fact I have never seen footage of Israeli citizens celebrating in the streets over the loss of Palestinian lives. What they usually do is feel sorrow over the tragic loss of life on both sides.

Don't try and tell me it's justified because of the actions of the Israelis or the Americans supporting them.

What kind of society can celebrate the horrendous acts of terrorism that took place yesterday?

What kind of sick person can take pleasure in the suffering of another person, even someone who is your enemy?

I don't understand. I never will.
