A mob of deranged people did that.
That's acceptable. Lets call them "those people in the Middle East, that are of Arabic origin, who want the Americans out of their country, and would not hesitate to kill an American if they could get away with it, who also happen to read the Koran every once in a while." I mean really, lets not pigeon-hole all Muslims... Just the ones that what Americans dead. Here is the breakdown of Ethnic and Religions in Iraq. Ethnic groups - Arab 75%-80%, Kurdish 15%-20%, Turkoman, Assyrian or other 5% Religions Muslim 97% (Shi'a 60%-65%, Sunni 32%-37%), Christian or other 3% Iraq is a muslim culture. It dominates and shapes their way of thinking. The religion may be innocent, but the culture is not. Perhaps is is sad that there is such a close relationship between countries that want to kill Americans and Islam. But the facts are that Islam in countries OTHER than the US generally hates all Americans. Those who do not move to America. Here in the states, we see the best of the best in terms of Islamic followers. I have nothing against Muslims who live here. I have a Mulsim family living next door to me. I have no beef with them. > > Believe me, I am no "apologist for Muslim culture," I just know the > difference between a set of beliefs and an angry mob in a famously > violent city. Bullshit. We have angry mobs demonstrating in most major cities in the US every year. They are not hanging dead people they just murdered on the highest point of the city. Even in the worst cases here, where law enforcement was not in control, the mobsters were not beng barbaric. Angry mobs in America may kill someone every once in a while, but never to the degree it is happening on a wide scale in Iraq against Americans every day. But you are right about Fallujah, it is a very bad, famous city - one that deserves more fame by beng the first modern city to be razed to the ground by a modern army. They can certainly understand the symbolism of this - its written all throughout their Koran.
