And my point is that we should hold those with abhorrent ideological views responsible for the consequences of them.

You said it was racist, I don't see how it is.

It could be either racism or bigotry, or both. I personally believe that anyone who would create and post such a sign in their front yard unabashedly suffers from both.

A sign calling out people of a religious faith isn't racist, islam isn't a race.

I am merely saying hypothetically, its reasonable to ask a group in which 20% support it their feelings on a terrorist attack, and if they're sorry. Do you think there is a point at which a significant percentage of a population supporting a thing before they become somewhat complicit?

I think there are situations where EIT is justified, I fully accept that if that is wrong I'm complicit. I'm simply saying it might not be unreasonable to do the same for muslims.

Islam, like Judaism, is both a culture and a race.

If there is then we have to ask ourselves whether that applies to all populations, or just some populations. Reference my link to a poll showing that 59% of Americans supported torture.

I think there are situations where EIT is justified.....

EIT? That's the label the American government put on techniques they prosecuted the Japanese for engaging in during the Yokohama Class B and C War Crimes Trials in 1947 - it was torture then and it's torture now, only the label was changed because this time it was the good guystm who were engaged in it and they needed a prettier face for it.

Personally I believe that as soon as we begin to engage in the practices of tose we label barbaric how different are we from them?
