I think that using this rhetoric fires up the masses in certain areas of the world. For this constituency the cry of "kill all Americans!" probably has the same conviction that "the only good Commie is a dead Commie" rally that we oh so quickly parroted not too long ago.
The scary part is that there seems to be a lot of out of control extremists that relish the thought of carrying out the rhetoric. Do I think that all Americans are fair game? Absolutely not. I don't subscribe to the view that just because Americans are the most visible and most powerful representation of the so-called 'Western' culture, they are all fair targets.
I think that a political movement that espouses such violence, such as extreme Islam, is completely without honour.
And sad.
