The Merciless Butchering Of Two U.S. Soldiers - A 'Routine Evil'
Topics: TerrorismRalph Kinney Bennett asks today at TCS if anyone believed for one moment that the two U.S. soldiers butchered by al-Qaeda would be treated with respect according to the Geneva Convention, and says what those of us that live with our eyes wide open all know - that their brutal murder brings revulsion but not surprise:
... This is the routine evil of those worse than beasts.This is the routine evil of Islamic terrorism, the "routine" evil of radical Islam, and it is the routine evil that threatens all of us and the world we live in.... This is the routine evil that beheaded Daniel Pearl, and Nick Berg; that left Van Gogh dead on a street in Holland.
... This is the routine evil that still wraps itself in the garb of a religion while leaving young students bound and shot beside their bus and innocent women and children blown to bits in the market place.
... The routine evil that draws comfort from the ignorant maunderings of a Murtha or a Sheehan; that somehow escapes the diligent moral radar of Human Rights Watch.
... The routine evil that finds shelter in partisan "talking points" about the war and the shameless babble of armchair thumbsuckers about "reciprocity" with Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo.
... The routine evil of men with a vision of a world of subjugated women and mindless children, ignorant of all but blood and suicide and revenge.
... This is the routine evil that dreams of cyanide gas in subways and thirsts for a nuclear weapon.
... This is the routine evil that some still think can be embraced into civility, "brought into government," tamed away from its loathsome imperatives.
... This is the routine evil that will not be ignored and must be exterminated.
God bless Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas Tucker, and God bless America. Its time to send all Islamists to hell where they belong, but let's start with the bastards that slaughtered our men!

Mark Humphreys on "The Islamist way of war":
The Islamist way of war is all about war crimes. Hiding behind civilians, including children; hiding among civilian crowds; not wearing uniforms; using civilian vehicles for attack; hiding in protected-status places like mosques, churches, hospitals and schools; using protected-status vehicles like ambulances to transport weapons and even using them for attack; taking hostages; torturing and executing POWs; false surrenders; killing medics who come to help their wounds; and of course targeting civilians, schools, churches, mosques, hospitals, buses, shops, restaurants, weddings, funerals, journalists and aid workers - all of these are just standard Islamist warfare, as we have seen in Palestine and Iraq. These things are not part of US or Israeli warfare, because their morality is superior to Islamist morality.Some very interesting comments on a BBC article.Anything goes in Islamism. Islamism has no honour, no decency and no morality, and is as depraved as any idea that humanity has ever followed.
