“majority of “Christian” Americans support the dropping of American bombs on Muslim women and children.”

I would like to see this backed up with some evidence.

I have to disagree Bryan. While there are a few ad hominem attacks, the fact that that he is attacking the man based on his profession as a priest, and not on how the man acts, I think they are justified.

A priest I think is held to a slightly higher standard then the average person, not only because of their influence in the world, but because you would expect a priest to hold himself to a higher standard than the average person.

And while the statement concerning the burning flesh was a bit rough and tactless, I’m pretty sure it should fall under the ‘general knowledge’ category that there were bombs dropped in the Middle East by Americans, and women and children died as a result. If you need proof though, you can check out the article below. While it doesn’t deal with death by bombing, its’ still terribly tragic, and I don’t think it could’ve happened without bin Laden.

I find it funny that the comment rules ask for no ad hominem attacks when the article is essentially an ad hominem attack against this priest, whose actual post is drowned out by the commentary of the author.

Also, I feel that the line about roasting the flesh off of mothers and children was in bad taste and was a generalization that should have been at least qualified. Maybe with facts.
