I find this relativism disconcerting. Please explain how targeting innocent civilians for their ethnicity or beliefs is equal to military vs. military operations. Most of the world is shades of grey but one has to recognize when an ideology is clearly a danger to human society and needs to be fought against. Whether and how violent the means need to be is up for discussion, I just can&#x27;t understand why people would downplay what ISIS, Boko Haram, Taliban and similar groups are doing. Just because the term &quot;Freedom Fighters&quot; has long been intemixed with Terrorism doesn&#x27;t mean that it applies here. IMO most of these groups don&#x27;t want to &#x27;liberate&#x27; people, instead they want to either bind them to their religious ideology, kill or enslave them.
