It isn't terrorism if you do it with tanks...

I am sure, if you gave them the option, Golden Boy, the Palestinians, Iraqis and other "Enemies" would be utterly *thrilled* to be allowed to kill Israelis and Americans with planes and tanks.
If targeted civilian killings are permitted, under the US Republican Code Of War (it *isn't* permitted under the Geneva Conventions), then whether such attacks are made with tanks, planes, or a single person with a bomb-belt should be irrelevant. It should also be irrelevant which side is the perpetrator.
But for some reason you insist that supporting suicide-bombings is less moral than supporting the same thing, only this time it's "us" doing it and without having to actually die to kill anyone. In fact, you claim that *not denouncing* suicide-bombings is morally inferior to *supporting* killing civilians with tanks and planes.
Congratulations, sir. You're the very model of a moral singularity.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]Golden Boy: "Seriously though, find where I support killing civilians and post it. That is an absolutely false accusation to make against me."
Um... Your entire point in this thread is about how we should be so afraid because 1/4th as many Muslims as "regular citizens" in the US support killing civilians. (And there are a great many more "citizens" than Muslims in the first place.)
So, *Muslims* supporting the killing of civilians is to you a *lot* more of a problem than "citizens" doing the same.
Assuming that you do, as you say, *not* support the killing of civilians, one would assume you would focus your efforts where they would do the most good. According to this poll, that is not the Muslim population. Hence, either you *do* support the killing of civilians, or you have some other reason to single out muslims. Or you're just rather stupid. The last I doubt.
