Me: "...any violence..."
You: "...murdering innocent people..."
Want to try again?
Ok. I'll try again. When is "violence" good? I believe the definition in the Muslim world is quite similar to the one here in America. Killing, maiming, raping, blowing shit up...
When it is used as a means of opposing tyranny that cannot be confronted through political or other non-violent channels. It does not include rape.
Violence as a means to oppose tyranny. Not that far-fetched, as long as it's not directed at innocent civilians.
Violence as a means to oppose tyranny when political channels are exhausted is the same principle that led to our independence from the British Empire. Instead of killing loyalists, we just tarred-and-feathered them. Maybe we should have tarred-and-feathered Saddam before hanging him, for old time's sake.
