that's all fine and dandy, but here is a flaw in your logic:
killing a random guy because he is a soldier. what does that prove?
or bombing a bunch of runners because yo uare not happy with government work.
because the best way to convince people of your cause is to randomly murder civilians.
radical religion, in particular radical islam is a huge problem for not just western countries but for arab and muslim countries too.
radical muslims have not shied away from killing unprovoked. see countless executions of women, and shia muslims in afghanistan by the taliban, or in other countries. or the killings and stonings, and bombings and acid throwing in pakistan.
if they are killing their next door neighbours, their relatives and their own countrymen because some random maggot tells them the book says so. their goes your logic behind "the westerners do far worse therfore it's okay"

Who knew? 
....and therefore it's ok to kill "westerners", is that the logic?
Let me clarify my stance:
I don't adhere to the talion-principle (an eye for an eye), and I never will. And before you tell me to walk a mile in the shoes of those shitheads who commited those acts in London today, let me remind you that people I cared about got shot to death.
I believe in democratic principles, most notably the rule of law and universal human rights. Whenever I see someone who believes he or she is worthy of rising above those principles by taking the law into their own hands to do whatever the hell they please (because someone did something to their ancestors, because they are unsatisfied with the current state of affairs or because they feel neglected or overlooked), I'm fuming at the mouth.
Sure, I felt sympathy for the victim as well, but that wasn't what my post was about. I was "pissed off" because I considered what happened today (and the same goes with the Boston bombings), as an attack (attacks) on principles I deeply believe in and follow.
You may call this a "platitude", but it's not. It's fine that people wanna go through their "revolutionary" phase while they're young, hanging pictures of Lenin and Che on their dorm walls or whatever, but at some point that shit gets old and really immature.

mentally deranged people beheading someone in the middle of the street in a first world country isn't offensive to you?

it was said the co-pilot committed an act of terrorism simply bec he said in god i trust 
needless to say the media namely CNN jumped on it like a bully jumps on a nerd.not saying this attack in London is'nt terrorism, but not for what was said during this horrific crime but for the crime it self, i dont care if he said forza my self while doing it, it does'nt change the fact its murder.
