Islam in Europe: perception and reality

[Thumpalumpacus]

Oh okay, so we can go bomb a family and show up at the house greeting the lucky survivors whilst their mourning their loved ones and just be like

"Hey I know we just killed your son and all but do you want some money, like cash or something? What? Why aren't you welcoming us in with open arms? Hey listen here lady we're the good guys okay, we don't have to offer cash but we are doing it simply out of the goodness of our hearts. I would never stoop to the level of our enemies. I mean we're not MONSTERS!"

I mean I did my best to imagine a scenario but it's just too ridiculous a claim for me to realistically imagine it. The thought that we can kill innocent lives, but help out the families of whom we've killed members of as if we are the good guys, and expect instant forgiveness is literally insane. That we can bomb a country to shit but if we simply go down to the country after the fact and clean up the mess WE CREATED it makes it all right, and how dare anyone compare us to the likes of ISIS, clearly we are way above that. Disgusting mentality. I doubt you mean the things you claim, but the implied value of human life being substituted for financial or some other form of aid as equal pay is a disgraceful disregard for human kind.

Hmm... There didn't seem to be an answer to my question there. But... Are you so naive to believe that wars can be fought without loss of innocent, civilian life? Or are you perfectly aware of that reality, and simply morally confused so as to fail to mark the difference between how we wage war versus those who would target civilians and literally use children as human shields? Perhaps you're not drawing a moral equivalency between our attempts to minimize casualties and willingness to compensate families by some means and the groups that must justifiably be eliminated--that would be sheer idiocy--but then, what is your point?

I'm sure that Heat can answer for himself, but I'd guess that his point is that "the road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Intentions, may I add, that likely don't mean a damned thing to the family just finished with burying Mom.
