*📢 Know Your History: Using Muslims as Human Shields Is Not New.*
⭕ – People are shocked at the videos coming out of Palestine but Muslims have often been used by the enemy as human shields in our history.
⭕ – One example is during the 1936 Arab revolt in Palestine by the British.
⭕ – It was common British army practice to use local Arabs as human shields by forcing them to ride with military convoys to prevent mine attacks and sniping incidents: soldiers would tie the hostages to the bonnets of lorries, trains etc.
⭕ – The army told hostages that any who tried to run away would be shot. *On the lorries, some soldiers would brake hard at the end of a journey and then casually drive over the hostage, killing or maiming him.*
✍🏼 *Islam taught us the conduct and limits of war. While non-Muslims claim to have rules of war, they abandon or change them whenever they want, going as far as to sanction their own International Court of Justice.*
