Not quite just that. LoganSnake seemed to be arguing that we shouldn't - or don't have the right - to intervene in such atrocities if they occur in other cultures in other countries.

Tactical issues aside, I couldn't disagree more.

My clumsy guess is that he means that it's only Muslims who are maniacs in this way, who honor kill family members.

I think he needs to realize that his post needs more precise wording, as it can easily be interpreted to be saying "not all Muslims are maniacs, but all maniacs are Muslims". Which, if that's actually what he meant, is at least naive and probably racist as well.

I do think that you leaped a little with the "all Muslims/Arabs are maniacs" interpretation. I didn't see that in his wording.
