I disagree with any worldview that kills innocent people in order to advance one ideal...where Zarqawai murdered other Islamic people who didn't subscribe to his right-wing verson of Islam.
And I think it does make it "immoral" for murdering innocent people. Murder...life and death...is HARDLY a western ideal...it is a HUMAN ideal...and THAT is the problem with this debate...that's the ENTIRE thing wrong with this debate...this ENTIRE political mumbo jumbo is wrong because it ignores the basic dignity and truth of humanity. LIFE AND DEATH. But I understand that you are introducing a western university learned concept theorized a few decades ago and expanded within our university system where there is no truth, and therefore there is no morality, there is no humanity, into the equation which ignores life and death in order to protect intellectualizing of the situation, trying to say that certain cultures are ignorant of the concepts of truth, but if one looks further they will find that they are well-aware of these concepts at the core of their being for they are instilled within us as human beings. There IS a right and wrong. And so if you judge this "world view" or "political stance" by what we know as HUMAN BEINGS to be right and wrong...you can certainly judge it as immoral.
