Assalamualaykum....
indeed sister, Islam forbid killing the kuffar except in protecting our faith. but sadly, people don't seem to understand what is actually happened throughout the world.
for example, Muslims in southern Thailand, they say that our brothers n sisters there revolt against peaceful Buddhist Nation. what they failed to see is the discriminaton there. i live in northern part of Malaysia, bordering the Southern Thailand, i knew what happened there in real.
let me tell everyone a sad story which happened last Ramadhan. 2 men were detained in police station because they teach Islamic Knowledge, with no proof, no case commited or reported against them, no trial, nothing. just being caught for no reason.
then some muslims went to the police station for a peaceful protest (yes, peaceful since all they brought are banners and nothing else). than the sad story begin...
armies came and shot at them killed few people. the rest were put into army's trucks like timber logs (yes, timber logs, with one on top of another.
Quote:One man in his mid-twenties said he was tied with his hands behind his back and had ``five layers'' of other detainees above him in a truck.
``It was very hot and I was suffering a lot. I was shocked after I learned that 78 people died,'' said the man, declining to be identified.
``Can you imagine being laid down on the floor and there are a lot of people on top of you? You can't even move. You can't even do anything,'' another man said, weeping. He also did not want to be named but described himself as a businessman.
Another detainee criticised the way authorities dispersed the demonstration and transported the Muslims, who were fasting during the holy month of Ramadan.
``I am lucky to be able to breathe today. Think about it: I'm a small person and there were four to five people piled on me,'' said the man in his mid-twenties.

87 dead... 78 of them died because they were unable to breathe while in the truck. and do you know what Thaksin's (Thailand PM) excuse is? they all died because they're fasting!!! never heard of anyone die because of 12 hours without food....
i'd like to write more, but it makes me very sad to hit the keyboard and recalling the tragedy... sorry...
