Jihadists continue to use human shields

Allah's forces continue their honorable methods of fighting. "US Kills Six Militants Using 'Human Shields' in Iraq," from AFP:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AFP) - A US air strike in Iraq's restive Diyala province killed six alleged militants who used women and children as "human shields" on the rooftop of a building on Saturday, the military said.

US forces came under small arms fire during an operation targeting a weapons dealer linked to a foreign "terrorist network," the military said.

"During the engagement, armed terrorists gathered on the roof of one building and brought several women and children to their fighting positions as human shields," the military said.

The gunmen eventually released the women and children and allowed US-led forces to move them off the battlefield, but continued to rain down small arms fire from the rooftop, prompting the ground forces to call in an air strike.

As usual, there is no condemnation of this from Muslims who claim that their religion is peaceful and humane. No condemnation from "moderates" who claims their religion was hijacked by "militants." Why the silence? Is all fair in Allah's war?

I would commend them for that.

so much for their "strong will" (as one court jester put it)...using human shields...???
This isn't the work of a righteous people or cause.
This is not the work of a just and peaceful God, either.
This is the work of hypocrites of the worst degree.
Even "apes and pigs" wouldn't lower themselves to this level.

Yes, and where are our so-called 'moderate' muslims? Why are they not marching and protesting in London? Where are their signs. Where are their chants?

Dead silence as usual.

Scum

Afghan thugs kill girls because they are getting educated. Iraqi thugs use women and children as shields.

But the US military is expected to do penance when "innocent civilians" are killed in battle or a "wedding caravan" is bombed.

(YAWN!!!)

Do penance? Our men are lucky if they are not court martialed by the simpering, cowering islamic enablers masquerading as US military leaders.

What would Patton's response to civilian deaths have been? "Sorry about that, now get the fuck away from me - I am busy killing Germans."

The brave jihadists have repeatedly shown that they are only brave in numbers, or when beheading a helpless captive. They are really good at torturing people. One of their few claims to fame.
Islam, the religion of torture and murder.
The religion of cowards, and steaming, composting, bovine fecal matter...

by infidel!

Patton, Ike and many others never had to follow today's rules of engagement, probably the primary reason we won the war. Thankfully, the television hadn't been invented and real time satellite communications were but a gleam in some scientist's eye.

We in the West certainly have a long and sad history of engaging in the most brutal behaviour towards each other: people who share the same languages, culture, religion, etc. The destruction of one of the greatest artifacts of Christianity, Monte Cassino, the numerous cathedrals in Europe, and all those civilians who if not a Nazi or Tojo supporter were just as guilty and subject to defeat as the men in uniform. So what happenend? We lost our spine and spirit during the Cold war? Too many decades of the good life?

We play by the rules and think the world will congratulate us, HA! We should be fighting to win. No one likes us anyway, so who cares what the world thinks other than that we saved them (hopefully).

...how does one know it the "innocent human shields" are in fact, "innocent human shields?"....
