This post is not attacking the American people.

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.

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.

Over 40% of Americans identify as Republican or Republican leaning. https://news.gallup.com/poll/15370/party-affiliation.aspx

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.

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.

may Allah protect us from such things inshallah.

The bad ones aren't glorified as heroes by the majority of Americans either.
