I think it's humorous that Hope, Beast and Wolverine are getting so much flack on the net for being "species traitors." It's a barrel of laughs. I suppose if you guys lived in Nazi Germany, you would have been all "Well... I don't agree with Hitler's policies... but I am German. Sieg Heil!" Scott is wrong. He's been wrong since day one, and if that wasn't clear when the event started (it was FYI), its painfully obvious now that he has gone Dark Phoenix and killed Xaivier. Why anyone would think that these characters should forgo common sense and ally themselves with Scott merely because they happen to be mutants is asinine.

sometimes some peeeps value family/loyalty above things like common sense. different strokes for different folks I guess.

How exactly was he wrong ? The Avengers came barraging on his door , demanding that he hand over the girl to them , as if they had better knowledge of or experience with the PF . Hope was the mutants' messiah at that time . She was needed in Utopia .
Also , if you're forgetting , then Tony is the one to blame for this entire mess . If he hadn't gone out of his way and been overzealous with that whole "Phoenixbuster" stuff , this situation wouldn't have escalated to this point .
Edit : The Nazi Germany analogy doesn't fit as well , because in this case its the mutants who are the oppressed(and they always have been in the MU) , and I don't recall Scott orchestrating a genocidal campaign against any minorities .

If a family member comes to you and says "I've got this plan, it's never worked in the past so there is 99% it will fail, and that failure could result of that could be the destruction of the earth, or possibly the universe. You in?" probably a good idea to use some common sense instead of saying "Family is family, I'm in."
