I see where you are coming from but I think that you are falling into the bloodthirsty OP's trap: i.e. Xtian vs Muslim.
I know that you were showing his post up for the hypocrisy that it is, but irony and subtlety is lost on this person.
As I am sure you are aware, the right wing Christians that support the drone attacks fail to represent Christianity just as Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism and even Atheism is misrepresented.
I know that I have posted that a dozen times before but that is because despite proving that neither Christianity nor Islam is represented by these conflicts, people like Merc will not stop with is BS. He is aware that repetition is the key from turning lies into "truth".
He mastered "double-think" years ago and can support the notion of retribution for the killings of Christians while not acknowledging that this attack was a retribution for the attacks on muslims. Other people have pointed out this glaring fact in similar cases as you have but this has been met with accusations of "justifying" or "siding with" the muslims and the terrorists.
Bishop Joseph Coutts of Karachi said the terrorist bombing in late September of a Christian church in Peshawar, which killed nearly 100 people, was an act of retaliation against the U.S. military’s lethal attacks in the region with Predator and Reaper drones.
The group that claimed responsibility for the attack on Christians, Bishop Coutts said, stated that it was done because “the Americans are using drone attacks,” and “unless the Americans stop the drone attacks,” they “will continue to attack more churches.”

Of course, the truth is that none of these attacks can be justified and only serve to encourage more attacks.
The only winners are those that seek to continue the conflict for reasons of their own.
Some need the areas de-stabilised, others profit from the conflicts in arms and resources and contracts, and others just thrive on hate, death and destruction.
