U.S. soldier sentenced to death

Quote
A military jury sentenced a soldier to death Thursday for a grenade and rifle attack on his own comrades during the opening days of the Iraq invasion, a barrage that killed two officers and that prosecutors said was driven by religious extremism.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

I would not spare him, but I am curios as to why he joined the military if he harbored those feelings for his fellow muslims.

muslims kill more muslims than anybody else.

Islam is the most ****ed up religion on planet earth by a very large margin.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Muslam is the same as Christianity in most respects. The differences being that they beleive that Mohammed was a prophet and that Christ was also a prophet, but not the son of god. Other than that, the philosophy of both religions are pretty much the same.

I don't know if I read wrong, but the basic philosophy for both religions is generally the same regardless, meaning that they beleive in the same PHILOSOPHICAL principles.

I am not a Muslim or Christian in the orthodox meaning of those words. And those that preach violence are not either, weather they choose to call themselves Muslims or Christians.

What I am trying to say is that the religion of Muslam is not much different from Christianity, so what we are dealing with when it comes to violent groups are fanatics, and the fanatic personality type can justify doing anything, regardless of their religion, even if it goes completely against the grain of that religions underlying philosophy.

Throughout history and even now, there are fanatics everywhere in every religion, but I would not let their actions cloud my judgement of that religion. from what I have seen, most of these fanactics have not bothered to study or comprehened the basic teachings of their own religion.

Bang on.

So Catholics are evil fanatics? what about the IRA?
Ah maybe Protestants are evil? the UDA? anyone?
Or all Buddists? Or all Israelis? Terrorists?

Religion is used as a justification for evil acts and always has been. Whatever the religion it doesn't matter. From the Crusades, to our modern time. that doesn't make the religion evil or those who follow it. It only makes those that commit these evil acts and then hide behind their religion evil.

I know many decent Muslims in my work and outside. Many people in Muslim nations were as horrified as the rest of us when 9/11 happened.

Personaly I don't follow a religion. i havbe my beliefs and they are for me. I don't excuse my actions by claiming somne other being wished it so.

Killing two adult soldiers = death
Raping and killing 11 years old girl = life

Guess Ronghi got special treatment.
