This is a far cry from the Russians who have carried out a merciless war in Chechnya aimed at the suppression of the Islamic revival and demands for the creation of an Islamic bloc in the Caucasus region. At least 100,000 have died since 1994 in Chechnya. All of the major towns, including the capital city of Grozny, have been razed to the ground. Even Putin was forced to concede his surprise at the extent of the destruction of the city when he visited Grosny in May, following the assassination of the pro-Kremlin governor and apostate, Ahmad Kadyrov. Inhabitants have been subjected to continual house searches, kidnappings, executions, rapes, and extortion. Normal life has been made impossible. According to the mujahideen, the Russians are responsible for destroying over 72 schools in Chechnya while occupied by students. Thirty hospitals have been destroyed with patients still inside. Over 2 million Muslims in Chechnya have been displaced and become refugees because of the atrocity committed by the Russian forces. Is it any wonder then when such crimes have been committed to a people as we have described that they might retaliate in some small manner? With respect to the claim of the media that the mujahideen targeted children, we say bring your evidence. If the Russian's were really sincere (and they are not because they are Kuffar and the Kuffar by default are mujrim (criminals)) - why did Putin not delay the burial of the children and setup a public inquiry into the events and allow time for autopsy's to be carried out on the dead to determine who had killed them. Indeed, it would be very easy for any forensic expert to determine whether a Chechan or a Russian had killed the children by analysing the wound and any remaining shrapnel. It is known that the mujahideen have their own distinctive bullets which they have developed, and the Russians have their own manufactured bullets. Instead of investigating the matter, we see Putin muzzling the media investigation and putting a cloak of secrecy over the events. The Putin government want to hide the evidence and the truth which they fear. Indeed, they were the ones who opened fire and started the assault on the academy and killed their own people including women and children, akin to the storming of the Moscow theatre where hostages lost their lives as a result of the gas employed by secret service special forces when the murderer Putin once again failed to negotiate. As Muslims, we must always be wary of what news the Kuffar (non-Muslims) bring us. We are not allowed to doubt Muslims, but we are obliged to doubt the Kuffar. This principle must be known to the Muslims and takes on great significance in this time of deception and the 24-hour media broadcasts. Doubting the Kaafir is part of the Muslims Aqeedah (creed). Doubting Muslims is against the Muslims Aqeedah. When a Muslim speaks, we must believe he speaks the truth. When the Kuffar speak, we must be cbelieve mamy be lying, especially when they speak about the affairs of the Muslims. The Kaafir journalist or reporter are considered liars, until they can prove they are not lying. And even if they can somehow prove that they are speaking the truth, we still must not believe them without our own verification. Shame on those Muslims who take what the media report as free from bias or lies, and sit back in their own armchairs whether in the U.K. or in the U.S. condemning what the media of the Kuffar have reported the mujahideen to have carried out. Shame on those Muslims who take media reports as some kind of revelation and issue immediate press releases declaring as "Haraam" (prohibited) the actions they know nothing about, except what the Kuffar media have reported to them. How irresponsible is this? It is high time we as Muslims, start to understand the demand our Aqeedah makes on us as believers, and to stop condemning or condoning until we have heard from the Muslims themselves as to what happened, whether that is in Afghanistan, or Iraq or wherever Muslims are working to make the word of Allaah the highest. "And they the non-Muslims plan, and Allaah plans, and Allaah is the best of planners" [EMQ]
This Qur'anic verse is general (Aam) and is not restricted. At the same time, Islam forbids the mujaahid (fighter) to target those non-fighter women and children and the non-fighter elders, the disabled or those who have any mental health problems, or those who are Priests or Monk's (of different faiths), or farmers (who are living far away from the area of the battle), provided they are non-fighters (i.e. do not take up arms against the Muslims). Having said all that, this does not mean however that the mujahideen are not allowed to take hostage a school or a hospital or a place of worship or any place in the earth becasue the Jihaad is not restricted by place.
