Maybe they think like us.
Maybe. Please cite all the instances in which we have
1) Shelled residential neighborhoods for the stated purpose of disrupting lives, injuring, maiming, or killing as many civilians as we could.
2) Publicly and in the most cruel manner videotaped the beheading hostages for the edification of the general public.
3) Subjected our women to burkas and subject to severe beatings or executions if they showed a little too much skin or did anything women were not allowed or talked back to a man.
4) Proudly declared that we were teaching our child to be a suicide bomber to the glory of Allah.
5) Bombed crowded busses or maket places or other places with large numbers of people hoping for as much blood and mayhem as posssible?
6) Brutally tortured to death, then dismembered enemy combatents and left them to terrorize whomever found them.
7) Tortured to death our prisoners and then burned their bodies in public view to the laughter and wild applause of those observing.
8) Announced that a group of people, not enemy combatents, had no right to exist and vowed to wipe them off the face of the earth.
9) Flew passenger liners loaded with civilians into buildings trying to kill as many people as possible and disrupt a nation's economy.
10) Tried to board up to twenty airliners with the ingredients of bombs to combine and blow up over populated areas?
These are just a few things we would have to be doing for them to 'think like us'. Do you think that's the case?
