If this guy was a Muslim, they'd mention his religion...

But since he's a Christian, we'll have to settle for him being called (no religion mentioned) a "knuckle-dragging buffoon". I think this is a good choice of words since we need to carefully avoid calling such people "animals", because that's slanderous and unfair to animals. Well I hope this little story will rekindle your disgust over what's going on in Iraq. Other than the fact that the wedding party massacre was committed in the first place, I'm not sure what's the most disgusting aspect of this story after that. Is it their facile attempts to make it sound like the wedding party wasn't really a wedding party? Is it their unspoken, but still rather obvious, feeling that killing these people is no big deal? Is it the fact that no investigation was ever undertaken? Is it the fact that this "knuckle-dragging buffoon" Marine general is a hero to many Americans? Is it the fact that most Americans still consider their military to be the moral and compassionate "Good Guys"—except when they're not, in which case they just explain it all away?

"It's Fun to Shoot Some People"
A General as Knuckle-Dragging Buffoon
by Brian Cloughly

O Muslims, take comfort in the fact that history remains in good hands and, inspite of all the propaganda to the contrary, what really matters is living a God-fearing, God-conscious and moral life. I was tempted to add "these people are doomed" to my list of things to take comfort in, but we should take no comfort in that. For one, we don't know the ultimate destination of anyone since the door of repentence is always open and it's been said that if you knew what Hell was really like, you wouldn't wish it on anyone. Although I don't know the source of this saying, it sounds like pretty good advice. "Let not your hatred for others cause you to act unjustly" (Qur'an 5:8).
