I am not calling anybody "aliens". What I refer to as alien is the mindset that declares the execution of a young girl to be a moral imperative.
Raise a Taliban child in any other setting, they'd not grow up to be what we've seen of them in the last decade or three.
The more important part of my post, I believe, is in our future response, if any. We respect moral behavior in others. When faced with something different, we do in fact respond in kind, in "their language." The spectrum of behavior during WW2 varied wildly between Western and Eastern Fronts, and the Pacific.
I believe instead of building dams and medical clinics, we should have focused a bit more on another "style" of war.
