There are a number if interesting/troubling ethical questions about the way his actual death came about, but that is an issue for another thread.

That is a good question... was the Colonel's death a violation of Islamic law. Probably so, as a good Muslim is not supposed to kill another Muslim. Isn't the way they are displaying his corpse a violation of Islamic religious custom?

I would welcome a thread about the issues surrounding religious accommodation in the schools - Canadian or American. The idea of where to draw the line between religious accommodation and religious indoctrination is one in which there is room for a great range of reasonable debate.

Forcing women to be fully covered is also nothing to do with Islamic law.

Ah, you haven't studied the psychological war tactics of good old Vlad. He turned back entire armies with nothing but fear. A couple accounts here'
Impalement was Vlad's preferred method of torture and execution. Several of the woodcut from the German pamphlets of the late 15th and early 16th centuries show Vlad feasting in a forest of stakes and their grisly burdens outside Brașov, while a nearby executioner cuts apart other victims. It was reported that an invading Ottoman army turned back in fright when it encountered thousands of rotting corpses impaled on the banks of the Danube.[10] It has also been said that in 1462 Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople, a man noted for his own psychological warfare tactics, returned to Constantinople after being sickened by the sight of 20,000 impaled corpses outside Vlad's capital of Tārgoviște
We could have rammed a telephone pole up his ass, and secured it to the torch of Lady Liberty. Don't want to piss off Muslims? Fuck Muslims and the filthy horses they rode in on. Even the non-violent ones believe in wife beating and keeping women down, not to mention so called honor killings. The religion is one for Barbarians, plain and simple.
Oh, and krazygirl, you'll find that Eddie is just a few bricks shy of a full load. Last I could decipher from his ramblings, he's all for a utopia where there are no consequences, no money issues, no prison, no war, etc.. Everyone on the planet could just sit round the sun eating smores and singing kumbaya.

Didn't do him much good, did it?
Personally, I think he could have stated his case better with a couple of Claymores and an M60.

Hello? Hello. Which is your yard stick? Will you please address your sudden change of opinion? Or is your answer, as I suspect, whatever makes Obama look bad?

I have already explained the difference between "clear and present danger" and congressional authority engage in military action. Same yardstick, same approach... nothing has changed.
If you think Libya in 2011 represented a "clear and present danger" to the USA....

Explaining things is something you seem unwilling to do. Can you please answer the question?

Nice to see that good old fashioned bigotry is still alive and well and living in the USA.
