Let's turn this around:
[SITUATION]
Sick and tired of hearing their brothers, fathers and uncles getting killed in Iraq by Muslims, a group of 20 Christian men (of varying races and
backgrounds) gather together and begin to plot.
They know of a Muslim school located in the heart of Chicago, near two major streets. Their plan develops.
One morning, just as students are arriving at the Muslim school, explosions are heard and screams rise above the normally busy din of a Monday morning
in the city of big shoulders.
When it's all said and done, 45 Islamic/Muslim students, aged 10-15 and 20 parents are executed, a la beheadings in the school gymnasium. The tapes
are immediately uploaded to the internet and notifications sent to CNN/FOX and NBC.
The next day, more and more attacks on Islamic businesses, homes, schools and mosques across the USA occur as outraged, sick and tired Americans turn
against the fundamental Muslim faithful as the Christian sectors believe they must attack first to avoid being attacked.
In 6 months, all Muslims of proclaimed faith are either dead, incarcerated or deported across the border to Canada. Families are seperated, houses
and property and wealth confiscated.
[Questions:]
(1) Was this wrong? By who's accord? Christians can officially reference sections of their bible in the Old Testament which were VERY bloody and in
which enemies of the Christian faith (to be Christian actually since Christ wasn't in the picture yet) were actively pursued, hunted down and killed
in gorey fashion. Is that not appropriate backing for such an action?
(2) What would Muslims think? Would they condone this?
(3) What would the world think? Would civility (as a quality and a sign of intelligence) be withdrawn from the mindsets of humans everywhere on the
earth when they next think about the USA? Are we to become barbarians?
(4) Does it feel good in a bloody sense of revenge to even consider this?
In all, I can morally say what I believe (which might be interesting to some), but I wish to see what people here have to say. [Dons flameproof
suit]
Oh, and -- no, I'm not a Christian. I believe in a Higher Power, and that's about as much as I'm going to discuss.
