Well, people must wonder why IS kill iraqi army so brutally? I did too and asked them.
They showed me following story -
Prisoners of war constituted a problem awaiting
resolution because it was a new phenomenon in the
history of Islam. The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa
sallam consulted Abu Bakr and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab as
to what he should do with the prisoners. Abu Bakr
suggested that he should ransom them, explaining this
by saying: "They are after all our relatives, and this
money would give us strength against the disbelievers,
moreover, Allah could guide them to Islam." 'Umar
advised killing them, saying, "They are the leaders of
kufr (disbelief)." The Prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam
preferred Abu Bakr's suggestion to that of 'Umar's. The
following day, 'Umar called on the Prophet sallallahu
'alayhi wa sallam and Abu Bakr to see them weeping. He
showed extreme astonishment and inquired about the
situation so that he might weep if it was worth weeping
for, or else he would feign weeping.
"It is not for a Prophet that he should have prisoners of
war (and free them with ransom) until he had made a
great slaughter (among his enemies) in the land. You
desire the good of this world (i.e. the money of ransom
for freeing the captives), but Allah desires (for you) the
Hereafter. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise . Were it not
a previous ordainment from Allah, a severe torment
would have touched you for what you took." [Al-Qur'an
8:67-68]
I couldnt counter , so left the discussion.
