On Tiller and Terror. (A Short Blurb)

My dear friends, can you imagine the reaction if a Muslim were overheard saying that they were glad the victims of 9/11 were dead, but that they did not approve of the method which was used to kill them? #TCOT 's would be overcome with fury, righteous, holy fury. And perhaps rightly so. Because it would be obvious to them that you can't separate the death from the horrible act of violence that caused it. They are joined now and forever. And those men who flew those planes into those towers on that day were filled with same displaced sense of religious certainty. They knew they were right, and they believed God would call them to heaven immediately, though they violated one of his most basic precepts. The people responsible of Dr. Tiller's murder were in search of the same goals as the perpetrators of 9/11. They wanted to bring down/change a system. They wanted to cause fear and panic. They wanted to set an example. #tcot's can mumble all they want, but terror is terror. To try to say that you are glad that Dr. Tiller is dead, but abhor the manner of his death is moral transference at best and grotesque sociopathy at worst. If you cheer this death, this act, then you cheer 9/11, you cheer every IED in Iraq, you cheer terror. The people who did this should be tried as a domestic terrorists, and to that question there should be no doubt. WORD.
