Attack Islam, not Christianity.

Not the point. They're still criminals ("but innocent until proven guilty in a court of law"). If I decide to chaser the murderer the thief will still be a thief.

Obviously, the thief would still be a thief, and needs to be caught. But the fact is that the focus (the first, most important enemy, on whom you spend most of your energy) is the murderer.

So you're suggesting police departments spend their entire time finding criminals in descending order of threat, first one, then the next, but not the next until the first is eliminated? That's just silly. I'll fight whomsoever shows up, when they show up.

Not necessarily. Expediency has a great deal to do with law enforcement.

True. They have major crime unit, burglary squads (that catch burglars, not commit the crimes. ) etc. We fought Japan AND Germany in WWII. Whopped both, us Allies did!
