Quote: Berg the american civilian : a contractor in iraq
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:-
WASHINGTON (AP) - <b>An unusual racketeering lawsuit filed by human rights lawyers accuses U.S. civilian contractors at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq of conspiring to execute, rape and torture prisoners to boost corporate profits from military payments.</b>
<rest snipped for brevity>
Asalaamu alaikum,
The amount of cruelty and inhumanity that is going on in this war is very depressing to say the least. The consolation for those who fear God is that He will punish those who commit these unspeakable acts of degradation.
Having said that, I have yet to see how this relates to Berg. Is there any evidence that he was one of the contractors conspiring to execute, rape and torture prisoners?
Again, if he *was*, why did his murderers forget to mention that before they cut his head off? I am still unaware of any other reason than that his murder was a revenge killing for the torture of the Iraqi prisoners.
Sister abeer, you are completely missing my point. Any evidence that you bring forth is really moot - what I am trying to get you to understand is that the terrorists themselves said that they were killing him because he was American and it was revenge against the torture of Muslim prisoners.
Now, can you tell me, is this the way that our beloved Prophet (may peace and endless blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) fought in war?
