Re: The one known rapist was, by his own admission, committing a crime against their standards. rAndy aL Send a noteboard - 24/10/2010 06:53:19 AM
As for murder, we know that the Children, at the very least, assassinate Aes Sedai when they can.
They are at war with the Aes Sedai. There is no other way to kill channelers, who hold too many other advantages.
And what exactly makes that a war? The Whitecloaks seem to be the only ones actually continuing the conflict. Except for some illusions and a couple of pesky novices anyway.

and even if being a Darkfriend by itself removes people from the protection of law we know that their standards for being a Darkfriend are none too high.
Prove that. You have only the PoV Trap complaints of characters prejudiced against the Children, when in fact, they are NEVER seen to do this in the books.
We have a very good idea about this even without the PoV Trap. (Seriously, you used to have a point with that, but now you just seem to use it to justify actions that are portrayed in a negative way.) Aes Sedai are all darkfriends. Warders are darkfriends. Anyone with a supernatural ability is a darkfriend. Anyone who associates with darkfriends is a darkfriend. Anyone who doesn't like the Whitecloaks interfering with their daily lives is a darkfriend. You can stop blaming the PoV Trap because we actually see this happening! Rand is accused of being a darkfriend for behaving like a drunken idiot. The main characters were all darkfriends for travelling at night with a "darkfriend" (Rand). The entire two rivers was a land of darkfriends for fortifying themselves against Trollocs and also figuring out they could now tell the Whitecloaks to get stuffed when they want to evangelise. Even the White Tower's servants are darkfriends!

Most of them are not the kind of "darkfriends" that would actually be killed (except for the supernatural ones). Confess you're a darkfriends, promise to walk in the light, or die. Clearly a model organisation.

Re: The one known rapist was, by his own admission, committing a crime against their standards. moratcorlm - 21/10/2010 07:55:06 PM 1056 Views
And there is no indication of how far that went. Cannoli - 23/10/2010 03:12:42 PM 913 Views
"The question" as opposed to "questioning" moratcorlm - 24/10/2010 06:21:43 PM 970 Views

The utter stupidity of this statement caught my eye... fionwe1987 - 24/10/2010 08:12:58 AM 947 Views

Difference being the whitecloaks who were ordered to do it were not DFs. All the AS evil deeds darius_sedai - 23/10/2010 07:55:23 PM 1067 Views
So similar scenes in the Cairhienin civil war were all the work of Darkfriends? Cannoli - 25/10/2010 02:25:57 AM 1003 Views
Please provide an example of a DF AS committing an atrocity and not being punished by the Tower darius_sedai - 25/10/2010 03:34:46 AM 967 Views

No. I'm pointing out you are under the delusion that AS pay for their atrocities. Mik - 28/10/2010 09:16:38 AM 934 Views
okay, so AS never Still and execute AS for doing stuff ... have you read the series? darius_sedai - 28/10/2010 05:20:28 PM 953 Views
That doesn't make the -unpunished- atrocities disappear, you know. Your point is lame AND moot. Mik - 28/10/2010 07:07:27 PM 1023 Views

Their implicit role in the genocide of Manetheren was probable their greatest atrocity *NM* Knightscape - 26/10/2010 03:01:01 AM 581 Views

the fact that you can't differentiate between the extermination of an entire village darius_sedai - 27/10/2010 08:30:12 PM 970 Views
