When the going gets tough, Allah’s brave soldiers hide behind women and children.

"Pakistan Says Militants Prevent Surrender by Students," by Khalid Qayum and Khaleeq Ahmed for [1] Bloomberg:

July 5 (Bloomberg) -- Thirty ''hardcore'' militants are preventing students at the Red Mosque in Pakistan's capital, Islamabad, from surrendering amid a siege of the mosque by security forces, the government said.

The militants ''are using women and children as shields,'' Javed Iqbal Cheema, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry, told reporters in Islamabad today. A total of 1,146 students have surrendered since yesterday, he said. At least 16 people have been killed in gun battles between students and police.

Despicable.
