Let me say this as clearly as I can: No matter how sharp a grievance or how deep a hurt, there is no justification for killing innocents.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong - and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.
No cause justifies the deaths of innocent people.
Murder is an offensive act. The term cannot be applied legitimately to any defensive act.
The killing of innocent people is always wrong.
Rather leave the crime of the guilty unpunished than condemn the innocent.
Under well-settled legal principles, lethal force against a valid military objective, in an armed conflict, is consistent with the law of war and does not, by definition, constitute an 'assassination.'
The absence and suppression of justice can only open the way for extremists to exploit such a condition to perpetrate acts of violence against innocents.
I am committed to the principle that violence is never justified as a means of ameliorating a grievance.
As long as you have capital punishment there is no guarantee that innocent people won't be put to death.
I do not think that condemning people who murder and killing them necessarily sends out the right message.
