    Most Muslim Americans See No Justification for Attacking Civilians

    Interesting data:



    and



    It must be noticed that Orthodox Judaism strictly forbids murder -- thus about 0% of Orthodox Jews would support such practice.

    Sadly USA does have a long history of targeting civilians -- Japan 1945, Korea 1950-53, Southeast Asia 1965-75. To lesser extent in later wars.

    I'm not for hitting civilians but sometimes it is necessary.
    Civilians often support and live among the enemy. Then they are the enemy.
    Civilians unfortunately are used as human shields. You cannot let the enemy rain in rockets and kill your people as they hide among there own, even as captives.

    Tough choices have to be made. You can only attempt to minimize the damage.

    In my opinion a nation at war should try to maximize opponents civilian damage/casualties. With range of modern weapons a nation at war should immediately target opponents capital. If civilians dont want to die then its up to them to prevent their nation from going to war or to convince their nation to surrender. And what is a 'civilian' anyway? Are politicians civilians? Are media workers civilians ( I loved it that Israel carried out airstrikes on Hamas tv station )? Are factory workers civilians? If you are at war with a nation then every last one of that nations citizens are your enemy. Their children are the children of your enemy. ( their animals are the animals of your enemy.. )

    The victor writes the history. Japan had some idea for a chemical attack on USA during WW2 but decided against it because they believed that to carry it out would have been a crime against humanity. They ended up getting firebombed into the ground and then atom bombs dropped on them for good measure. USA says that this had to be done because the stubborn Japanese would have tried to fight to the last man if USA tried to invade. And this is true. A nation needs to worry about itself and its own people when at war - not worry about the enemies people.
    War is war.

    The question is too open ended. What does sometimes mean? I guess basically anything other than an unequivocal no. Well, if the civilians take up arms, why can't you target them?

    Perhaps the muslem sample only had a 20 or so opinions, all coming from the middle of some otherwise mostly Christian community.

    It is allowed in their religion to lie to the enemy. If you are not Muslim then they consider you the enemy.

    This measurement acts to divide us and right now we do not need to see any information that divides us by race, color, religious beliefs, etc. The masses need to wise up and see that there are evil people that want war among the populations. We need to stop participating in anything that divides us and work to unite with each other. The people can change the future when they have their eyes open and see who our real enemies are.
