they are hypocrites who hate Islam and inshaAllah they will be in the lowest level of the hell fire.

"In Islam there are general rules and specific rules for particular situations. For example we are not allowed to eat pork – this is a general rule. However if we where starving and the only food was pork then not only would we be allowed to eat it but we would be obliged to and not doing so would be suicide. So we see the general rule of not eating pork is overruled in a particular case.

There are many other examples of this in Islam and this issue of women and children is one of them. The Prophet (SAW) forbade us from killing them and this is a general rule. However the exception to this rule is when the kuffar kill our women and children and if this happens then we are allowed to kill an equal number of theirs and this is based on the ayat in the Quran:

“Then whoever transgresses the prohibition against you, you transgress likewise against him. And fear Allah, and know that Allah is with the pious.”

Surah Al Baqarah 2:194

There are other ayats which support this opinion and many scholars have wrote upon it. Also there are situations when we can particular women and children even if they havent killed our such as if the head of state or king is a woman or child and this can be done to destroy the confidence of the kuffar and the evidence for this is:

Fight (you) the leaders of kufr.”
Surah At Tawbah 9:12

So the prohibition on targeting women and children is one which is general and which does not apply in all cases. This is a very detailed subject which I have only touched on here however if you seek more detail then I can write an article on it and we can discuss it in that thread.

We must also remember that the only reason women and children are protected under the Islamic rules of war is because they are booty for the mujahideen, it has nothing to do with any particular rights they have over the kuffar men."
