Granted, but Kamikazis specifically targeted military assets.

The Japanese certainly did not scruple at war crimes, if they had killed anything like the number of European civilians as they did Asians, there would have been a tribunal that would have made Nurenburg look like a traffic court.

"Granted, but Kamikazis specifically targeted military assets." Agreed...and what I posted was meant to underscore your previous point, not object to it. The Kamikazes were martialed largely through an appeal to traditional Japanese martial values and code of honor, which the Japanese Government had spent the previous 60 years or so, trying to expunge.

The words "islam" and/or "moslem" really have no business in the same sentence as the word, "honor" unless the word "without" is also included.
