As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):
It becomes apparent that our memories are short and
depending on what country, tribe, region or ethnic
body we support it clouds our reasoning and application
of justice.
The acts of war are brutual and only sanitized for normal
consumption. War isn't normal.
Those who actually practice Islam not just in word but deed
acknowledge and adhere to not killing innocent women,
children, elderly and non-combantants. (Without justifications)
The same outcry was absent when Western Contractors were
dragged, burned and hanged on a bridge in 2004 in Fullujah.
War is brutal! Those that attach the word humane to war are
naive.
The Western wars in countries that the majority are Muslims
are occupiers but the inhabitants haven't taken advantage
of the opportunity that rid them of brutal dictators which
many have been supportive and silent for over fifty years.
Only the arab spring promoted people to chose a side.
The current situation only highlights the cultural, tribal and
ethnic hurdles that have been an obstacle for hundreds of years.

Standout for Justice even if it is against your ownselves: (Ideal but not the reality)
يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاء لِلّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَى
أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالأَقْرَبِينَ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ
فَقَيرًا فَاللّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ الْهَوَى أَن تَعْدِلُواْ
وَإِن تَلْوُواْ أَوْ تُعْرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ اللّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرًا (4:135)

(Y. Ali) O ye
who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even as
against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against)
rich or poor: for Allah can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your
hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice,
verily Allah is well- acquainted with all that ye do.

Signs of the Day of Judgement:
Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6918:
The Euphrates will reveal a treasure of gold,
and many will die fighting over it, each one hoping
to be the one who gains the treasure.
