So when they kill civilians as part of their campaign, we have no right to criticize, regardless of what you think of their preferred method of execution.

The insurgents in iraq are are very small percentage of the populace. If the majority of folks wanted an islamic state they could have voted one in. but what has happened is that a small minority wants to impose their will on the 20 million+ people in iraq, when clearly, they do not want that. This is obvious when the insurgents must result in killing just about everyone around them, anyone seen as cooperating with the new govt or coalition forces. If you were to pick out an iraqi at random and ask them what government they want, odds are it would be the one elected.
