One's religion should not determine how a crime is prosecuted
Reader comment on item: Jihad or Criminality?
in response to reader comment: criminals are criminals
Submitted by Sigmund (United States), Apr 20, 2013 at 18:40
You are right. We should not say that if a Christian or a Jew kills people it's a crime and if a Muslim does so it's automatically a Jihad. Of course, in some cases a crime may also be part of a Jihad. But still that's no reason not to prosecute it as a crime. Military law does not govern us in the United States and it should not govern us.
