I may be repeating myself but in a different style but due to the importance of the issue
we need to stop fearing to be labled as terrorists, terrorists in the sense of people who kill for no cause just for the sake of killing, or may be better say criminals. When Muslims are defending their lands, just because this does not suit any other party, we must be very careful before calling to condemn any act, we are not sure if Muslims did it or not.
Most important circumstance differ from place to another. For example, Israili citizens, I think are not civilians, even the majority of women there are of the military staff, plus those who immigrated to take the land, how do they fit then.
My point brothers and sisters is not to judge acts, not label Muslims as terrorists in the sense of mafia simply because we need to practice acts just as described by Ibn that may cause confusion in the other paty's lines, I am not sure even if Ibn agrees to that. Terrorism in the sense he is presenting is not in Islam, but part of the military duty during war is to terrify the enemy.
