Is there a double standard?

Yes, why is it when our some wage war to defend their country from outside aggression they are "freedom fighters", but when others are defending their country from us they are "terrorists"?
I know this ruffles a lot of feathers, but honestly, if someone invaded your country, for whatever reason, wouldn't you fight back too?
In case anyone gets the wrong idea, I do NOT support blowing up markets and the like by any stretch of the imagination. Personally, I think we should solve ALL our problems non-violently. I would just ask people to consider the double-standard that SEEMS to exist in American foreign policy.
Please wake up! Iraq did not invade us or attack us. We are there for completely different reasons. The more we attack, the more extremists hell bent on attacking America are going to be created. That makes us less safe, not more.

In the Muslim world, when a Christian kills a Muslim, it is persecution, when a Muslim kills a Christian it is justice. Depends on you point of view.
Unfortunately to both, two wrongs do not make a right. I have a feeling that God does not agree with either side.

There is no double standard. Muslims killing Christians in Muslim countries is clearly persecution. What Christians are going around killing muslims? Those who plant bombs to kill innocent civilians, women and children must be stopped. Those armies who are fighting Islamic terrorists are not fighting in the name of Christ; they are fighting for the right for people all over the world to live in peace.

In each faith there are fanatics. meaning there are some Muslims who choose to etc. etc." then there are some Christians who choose to kill Muslims. Then there are some Hindu's who choose to kill Christians. On and on it is going. meaning we could desire to continually continually use the be conscious some, somewhat of an usual assertion that an entire team of persons act one way or yet another. you will discover people who decide anothers faith, is somebody who believes that they are suited and all people else is erroneous.

Anyone that kills will face justice if not here on earth then when they past to the other side
To kill any living thing will create karma and we all know what goes around, will come around in one form or another

That's only the case if the person talking about it is Christian. Listen to a Muslim and you'll get the opposite.
Or gay rights/anti-gay rights. Pro-life/Pro-Choice. Democrat/Republican.
Always realize the bias of the speaker.

The only people who make blanket statements like "Christians killing Muslims is justice" are the same people who then take that blanket and cut a couple holes out of it so they can see.
Killing a couple Al Qaeda leaders is justice, but that has nothing to do with anyone's religion.

What Christ-ian means to be Christ like, Christ did not kill anyone nor did he teach this in the bible. Muslims kill in the name of religion and is following the teaching of Quran but if a so called Christian killed in the name of faith it goes against Christian teaching and can't be labeled as that and would not happen anyways, how many people do you hear about today killing people as true followers of Christ in the name of Christ because they believe in Islam, it is completely contradictory because the bible does not teach this and no one who does this can be labeled a Christ-ian.

Killing is wrong, no matter who does it.
If a Christian kills a Muslim - it would most likely be labeled a "hate crime" and the Christian would face additional punishment - funny how THAT doesn't get used against the Muslim. . . Isn't that a double standard?

You are incorrect. Here's what is really going on, "behind the scenes", my friend: The world is owned and run by a relatively small groupof psychopaths, known as "the Illuminati", the NWO, etc. Because they are so few, and "we", who they wish to control and, when expedient, murder, are so many, they must have a strategy for maintaing their dominance.
One such strategy is the time honored "divide and conquer". They have managed to help the underlying mistrust of one group for another, religion wise, and otherewise, grow hugely. And, they support violence as needed to facilitate as much division and hatred as needed to keep people divided, and seeking revenge--a sure method for never ending atrocities.
The smart thing to do is to understand what is actually going on and undo the brainwashing and programming, and join forces against the common enermy. That's the intelligent thing to do, eh?
