War is evil. Killing is evil. Torture is evil. Yes, I get it. I understand. I also understand that without them our enemies will not stop. I understand that as long as these people are out there, there is a chance that my fellow Americans – my friends and my loved ones and my family – are in danger. And I’m would do anything, anything, to keep them safe.

There are people out there that fear Islam. They believe, wrongly, that Islam is a religion of hate, intolerance, and armed religious revolution. Anti-Muslim ideology has become the new, bigoted, rallying cry for xenophobic pro-western smacktards whose knowledge and understanding of a subject is limited to, “he’s a rag head.”

I do not believe in moral relativism. That said, I do not believe that religion, or god, or faith is the source of moral authority. I do not believe that men with pointy hats, or shiny hats, or powdered wigs, or slick hair are the experts on moral authority.
