GENIERE
I thought Russia was wrong re: Chechnya but nothing can justify this atrocity. Retaliation should be swift and relentless.
One would think that if they worried about the world's image of Islam, they would take responsibility...studentx said:it appears 10 of the dead serial killers are arabs. I hope muslims for once take responsibility of their problem and fight it out, instead of worrying about themselves and worlds image of Islam

Adam said:Personally, I think it's utterly ridiculous to suggest that any ethnic division of humanity should be in any way responsible for the actions of a small group of complete nutters.
I say hang those who performed the act
studentx said:I told you already that's not what i said. I said they should take responsibility of their problem, not this terror attack. If hundreds of terrorist attacks were made by christians from the US, these organizations would be utterly crushed and the churches would probably hire hitmen to get rid of this scum. No major muslim group has ever repudiated the doctrines of armed jihad and suicidebombings. Innocense is a matter of opinion, a terrorist is a freedom fighter. Muslims have no right to question them or their actions and most of them probably never will, theyre humble when the mujahideen blow up children and behead civilians and implore the world not to get the wrong image of Islam.
Or, I would agree that they are Muslims in the same way Hitler was a Christian.
However, citizens should have the right to execute other citizens who are proven to have killed their spouses, relative, et cetera.
JohnDubYa said:Huh? In no way can Hitler be described as a fundamentalist Christian. He had no use for Christianity. "Taken to its logical extreme, Christianity would mean the systematic cultivation of human failure."
I have covered this in a thread about capital punishment. Search for it or start a new one. I'd be happy to cover it again, if you wish.Dagenais said:And how would this work? The victum's family gets to decide whether the death sentence well be put to use, or will they simply execute the murderer themselves after trial?
Actually, Galileo was pardoned in 1992: LinkSmurf said:Gallileo has yet to be partonded by the church, but Hitler was never excommunicated in the first place.
One of the first steps of John Paul's papacy, which began in 1978, was to begin procedures leading to the rehabilitation in 1992 of Galileo, the Italian astronomer persecuted by the Church for teaching that the Earth revolved around the sun.
The Inquisition condemned Galileo in 1633 because his teachings clashed with the Bible, which read: "God fixed the Earth upon its foundation, not to be moved forever." Galileo was rehabilitated after 359 years.
Hitler went to school to become a roman catholic.
This is a highly debated and complex question. It ultimately depends on one's perspective and values. Some argue that retaliation is necessary in order to protect national security and to prevent further attacks. Others believe that retaliation only perpetuates the cycle of violence and leads to more innocent lives being lost.
The conflict in Chechnya has a long history, dating back to the 19th century. In the 1990s, the region declared independence from Russia, leading to a series of wars and insurgencies. The exact reasons for the conflict are debated, but factors such as ethnic tensions, religious differences, and desire for independence are often cited.
The international response to the conflict in Chechnya has been mixed. Some countries, such as the United States and European nations, have condemned the Russian government's actions and called for a peaceful resolution. However, other countries, such as China and India, have supported Russia's actions out of a belief in non-interference in internal affairs.
The long-term effects of retaliation in the conflict in Chechnya are still being felt today. The ongoing violence and instability have resulted in thousands of deaths and the displacement of many civilians. It has also strained relations between Russia and other countries, as well as within the region itself.
Finding a solution to the conflict in Chechnya is a difficult task, as it involves addressing deep-seated historical and cultural issues. Some experts suggest a combination of political negotiations, economic development, and social reconciliation efforts. Ultimately, a resolution will require cooperation and compromise from all parties involved.
