My friend shukria,
However in my opinion, all of the above applies to non-Muslim captives.
The issue on hand would be akin to Syeda Aisha's (RA) camp capturing troops under the command of Syedna Ali (RA) and then slaughtering them. The point being the officers and the two NCOs were all Muslims. They had surrendered. They should have been given the protection and refuge as has been witnessed in the history of Islam and Muslims. You draw blood in the battle. Not when the other side has been captured.
The mentality on the Takfiri TTP side is that only their way is Jihad and anyone on the other side is a wrongdoer and thus guilty to be put to death. In this lies the fallacy of their understanding.
The TTP people had not proclaimed that in case of people being captured in their area, they would be be-headed. This was an un-Islamic, impulsive (yet predictable) step by them.
Only the Almighty knows it all, however there were many other ways to handle the case of these officers and men.
Mr. Blain i don't understand what similarity you want to prove from Islamic history with taliban war.
please clear your point.
