In 1864, somewhere in the Colorado Territory of the United States, a former Methodist minister named Col. John Milton Chivington instructed his men to destroy an Indian village:
“Kill and scalp all, little and big ... Nits make lice.”
During the seven hours of the attack, a 6-year-old bearing a white flag was shot dead on the spot. One soldier carved out a woman’s genitals and brandished them on a stick. Bodies were mutilated, brains knocked out, infants clubbed.
In this case of genocide, the perpetrators were 700 American soldiers, and the victims, 500 noncombatant Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians. But a similarly horrific example might have surfaced from Babi Yar or Dili, Srebrenica or Rwanda. Genocides in vastly different cultures share this reality: Scores of innocent people die at the brutal hands of ordinary men.
James Waller, a professor of psychology at Whitworth College in Spokane, Wash., suggests that perpetrators of genocide — those who commit what Waller calls “extraordinary human evil” — aren’t just ideologically committed sociopaths or else passive weaklings who’ve been forced to pull the trigger. And contrary to what historians such as Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, the author of “Hitler’s Willing Executioners,” contend, ...

A: I am saying yes, we may have to. At least convince the islamic world we are capable of it. The only one I can think of who has actually killed am enemy in combat is Col. Alan West, whom I hope will be Sarah’s V.P. choice.
Wow. So you are proposing that the USA engage in a campaign of genocide never seen before in this world - far worse than Killing Fields of Cambodia, worse than the Holocaust, worse than the gulags of the USSR. And you think that Sarah Palin and Allen West would not only accept this, but would be willing to lead it. How about adding concentration camps and gas ovens? That would make it much more efficient, don't you think?
**At least convince the islamic world we are capable of it.**
They declared WAR on us in the early 70’s and have been killing our people ever since...
How about you TWO Liberal muslim APOLOGISTS... KISS OUR AMERICAN BUTTS...
quoting SALON.COM???? if your not LIBERAL... YOU’RE TOO STOOPID TO BE A FReeper!!!!
FU and the Camel you rode in on!!
Who quoted Salon? And I never thought I would be on a conservative forum and see people advocating for genocide. If that is what conservatism has come to, then God help us all.
Both you and another poster implied we should kill all Muslims simply for being Muslims. The definition of genocide is "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group". So the term is correct. And I am appalled. If you want to kill every jihadist on the planet, I will support it - they have declared war and are actively participating in it. If you want to pass laws clearly stating that no religious code may or laws such as sharia may be implemented anywhere in the US - fine, I am on board with that. But to say we should kill all of the Muslims in the world becuase they are Muslim is a call to genocide, and you should be ashamed.
Killing an entire group of people because of their religious beliefs is genocide. Sorry you don’t like the label. Even in war, you don’t kill everyone - you kill the people fighting against you (in this case, the jihadists). By suggesting that we kill over a billion muslims, as the other poster suggested, you are contemplating the worst war crime in the history of the world.

It does. When people talk about terrorism they talk about terrorism from below, like Osama bin Laden expressing a grievance against some country, state or institution. It's really renegade terrorism. But my book focuses more on state-sponsored terrorism. One of the things I'm trying to play out now is that while we're all captivated with the idea of terrorism from below, in truth, it's state-sponsored terrorism that claims millions of more lives over the course of history.
The above is from the link you provided - a great read - thanks for sharing.
Are you a plant, a seminar caller, a sand-bagger? You’re not going to get me to angrily reply in kind; maybe you actually should go away and try to put into practice the murder you’ve preaching. I’d guess you’ll not get far.
‘Bye. Let us know how it works out.
