[soc.religion.islam] Islamic rules of war

sacg1198@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Scott Cattanach) (01/25/91)

I heard on ABC News last night that the actions taken by Hussein (sp?) 
(beating prisoners or bombing civilians) were a violation of some
Islamic laws set down in the 7th century.  Anyone know what the guy
on TV was talking about?

Is there any restriction on the articles about gulf in this group ? If there is
 not, I would like to ask to start a discussion; how should we respond to the G
ulf war? I think majority agree that Saddam is ruthless dictator, but what abou
t people ? Who can beleive that B52 aircraft is sending precision bombing. Sure
ly genuine muslim people are dying as well? Also I am not scholar in Islam, for
 those who knows better I would like to ask, is there any ayet (phrase) about f
ighting against other muslim especially with the help of nonmuslim?
