// Katie Hopkins, ever the self-publicist, has done it again.//
but here is AbuBakr the first kalieefa ( successor to Mohd pbuh)
In the early 7th century, the first Caliph, Abu Bakr, whilst instructing his Muslim army, laid down the following rules concerning warfare:
Stop, O people, that I may give you ten rules for your guidance in the battlefield. Do not commit treachery or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone.[5][6]
and that kinda sez different
altho I agree not as awfui lot of this is happening in Syria ( peace be on its head but extremely extremely unlikely )
