    Darhling, you clearly didn't get the point of the post. I will spell it out for you:

    It was about the REACTION of the people, who clearly cared about a puppy more than about the thousands of dead Iraqis...

    Don't get distracted. That was an American soldier flinging a puppy off a cliff.

    Then don't distract me with talk of what Mohammed did with his cat. Or to his robe.
    Are you seriously trying to tell us all, Sam, that a Muslim soldier has never killed an animal? Even for you, that is some stretch.

    Just as mine was not a comment on the soldier himself, but on the posters who feel no shame about speaking of the way they'd mutilate a soldier for killing a dog, but couch their opposition to war in much more polite terms. It was a comment on what humans will (say) they will do when they feel they can without serious retribution.
    You see, it is not politically correct to talk about disembowelling someone who shoots at a family in a car who race through a checkpoint. It is not politically correct to speak of burning alive a man who beheads an aid worker. You speak of "punishment" for these.

    But it is perfectly safe and acceptable to talk about how you'd like to see vultures feed on the intestines of a soldier who kills a puppy.

    It's amusing. My comment was not on the post, or on the event. It was on the REACTION of those posters.

    I imagine it is. Especially the aid workers - those are particularly deserving of divine retribution... by proxy.

    That is not the question I asked, by the way.

    So if a Iraqi soldier killed a cat, would that make YouTube?

    Yup, just like puppies and babies (aka collateral damages)

    He claims not to be a Muslim. Say your prayers immediately; atheists have a worse history of bloodymindedness!

    The human species has a history of bloodymindedness. I only wonder why you think your side is any better.

    I'm glad you agree. Neither "side" has any claim to a moral high ground at all.

    Just roll with it, then.

    Humour aside, that is a lie.

    If you gained predominance, you would be the dark side.
    That is the way the world works.

    Of course they do! I talk with family members over in Iraq (via webcam and headset) routinely.
