War is a symptom of man's failure, but there are times no other option is available. Sadly, war is not glamerous or glorious it is a very dirty nasty job that often results in the death of innocents. Yes killing innocents is forbidden, but sometimes in war innocents are among the casualties in the attempt to save the lives of the most innocents.
Just pointing out there is often at least 2 sides to any story. Here I do not know which is the truth all I can do is keep looking at all the available information and pray that no innocent deaths were malicious or the desired target.
Chechen militants bombed a train with 26 innocent civilians inside it, a couple of days ago. I think it was 26, and the injured were 90.
There are dozens of videos of them beheading innocent people.
I've also seen videos of these guys sniping civilians walking by in cities.
It doesn't matter which side we see this through. What they do, by technicality, and Islamic and human standards, is disgusting and not what Muhammad would have done or did do, he in fact did quite the opposite to his helpless foes.
I still do think though that the replies here were nothing really short of disgusting, really.
You said there are two sides to things Woodrow.
The mother and father of the people killed in the train bomb or beheading in a field on video would cry if they saw these animalistic replies made by these members.
Perhaps they don't know any better (probably), perhaps they love the carnage. There is two sides to things, but in Islam, the rules of war are VERY straightforward and these guys don't have the right in my opinion to hold the Islamic flag.
The replies were horrible.
