Just because some obviously unstable people do this shit doesn't mean you need to sink to that level.

Yeah sucks that people do that stuffz. I expect the same outrage for this act as I do from the outrage(if not more) people poured out on the other thread. I mean this is outrageous! Right? Some unstable people would be nice, but this is status quo for the enemy. It would be nice though if it was isolated, like you're trying to make it look.

Your enemy is a terrorist organization run by religious zealots. Why are you so surprised that their tactics are psychotic?
Is this enough to make you suggest your leaders act the same way?

No one is surprised, why are you asking? Maybe cuz you're surprised? Not sure why you asked this.

I don't remember our leaders cutting off peoples fingers, unless I missed that story? You're a straight hypocrite though, for even trying to compare the two. It's wrong to use a method to make someone talk, but it's not wrong to cut off fingers (in the name of religious fanaticism). You're making excuses for the terrorists' actions, but you're not outraged? Weird.
This isn't a thread about one or the other, it's just facts about what happens outside of your utopia.

You missed his point. Our enemies are terrorist fanatics. One would expect them to torture.
Our leaders are not religious fanatics, so one would not expect them to torture, since torture is an atrocity.

Actually I didn't miss his point, I'm surprised you interpreted it as such. My question was rhetorical.
Some might say our leaders are religious fanatics too, but not in the sense where their ideology encourages killing innocent people because of their belief or non-belief, so in that sense I agree. But severing fingers is a whole different level of "torture" and a whole different level of atrocity. With that said, I'm not saying one justifies the other, I'm just reporting the news and pointing out the hypocrisy of outrage for one, but not the other.

I am far beyond outrage by now.This terrorist thing isnt exactly incredible news. I suggested you must be surprised by these actions because you keep posting them like they are new.
And Vehement got my point just fine so I guess you must be looking for an argument and purposely misinterpret.
You have a pretty high opinion of yourself don't you?
