I've also heard that, because of a #fatwa by #ShaikhulIslam Ibn Taymiyyah (i believe) concerning the #Mongols using #Muslim human shields to overtake fortifications. The fatwa said Muslim defenders should aim at the Mongols and if the arrow strays and hits the Muslim captive, it wasn't the archer's fault.This today has turned into, "you can kill Muslims". 

Again, #Kant: people are *not* a means to an end, but an end in themselves.
