If muslims only understand torture and brute force, then we've given them plenty of images and stories to aid them in that effort.
A-ha. So you've fallen into my trap.
You say muslims only understand torture and brute force but are simultaneously too fearful that they should see that torture and brute force.
So let's talk about why you contradicted yourself. You say muslims should learn, and can only learn, from brute force and torture because you're angry (and also reprehensibly immoral). You say we shouldn't show images of brutality to muslims because you're smart enough to know what their reaction would be (this would be from your smarter, more reasonable half).
Your hatred and confusion is actually very indicative of America's foreign policy circa 2001-2008. And it's identical in the way that it's fundamentally contradictory at its core, often overriding the more intelligent, reasonable concerns surrounding said policies.
