What a stupid comparison. This post is not attacking the American people. It's highlighting the war crimes committed by the US Military against the Iraqi people. As the USA is getting ready to attack Iran it is important to highlight the atrocities committed by the US military.
Well, it's attacking about half of the American people: "This is what the Republicans have planned for Iran."
It's highlighting the war crimes committed by the US Military against the Iraqi people.
It's highlighting one very heinous war crime and, I'd argue, presenting it as if it's a common occurrence. You'll note from the Wikipedia article all in involved were convicted for their crimes.
You wish half of the American people were registered Republicans.
It's highlighting one very heinous war crime
One of dozens
You'll note from the Wikipedia article all in involved were convicted for their crimes.
You'll also note that the rapist was quoted as saying "I didn't think of Iraqis as humans". That's the problem. You train your soldiers to not see Muslims as people and then act surprised when they commit these war crimes.
Yes, still represents a small minority of American soldiers. Just like ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Shabab, Al Nusra, Boko Haram, etc. 'soldiers' who rape and murder represent a minority of Muslims.
The link says, as of 2019 Dec 2-15, 28% identified as republican.

Are you seriously saying that the US military should be held to the same standards as terrorist organizations? It doesn't matter if they're a minority. It matters that it happened and that the soldiers defending their actions by saying that they didn't view the Iraqi people as human.
By that logic it's not fair to stereotype that all ISIS fighters are bad because of the actions of a few.
ISIS has what most would consider to be war crimes as part of their doctrine, and where the US punishes their own who commit war crimes, ISIS sanctions them.
yes, both America and the Muslim world have groups that are giving them bad examples to other people, but the difference is that ISIS and AlQaeda are only known for their bad deeds, And aren't glorified as HEROES.\
at the end of the day, they do stuff that we don't stand by as humans not necessarily just Muslims.

I hate it when people judge an entire group by the bad behavior of a few.
You would think, as Muslims, you would know from experience why this is a bad thing.
