Sooo.. Non-Muslim lives are worth more than Muslim ones? Can you explain this logically to me? Can you explain using logic why the deaths of Invading British soldiers are more worthy of attention than Afghan Civilians?

I don't understand. He posted a personal opinion on Facebook and was arrested for doing so?
Regardless of his opinion, I find this rather ominous. Or am I missing something?

There is a key difference between a crime and someone acting inappropriately (or even simply unfavorably).
I'm not seeing the crime, here...

Not sure about the source - but this is one of the first (and few) places I found to claim part of his facebook comment:

Strong words from an immature brat, in my own opinion.
