Yeah, let's go spend Christmas in a Muslim hell-hole in Africa.

I wouldn't take my family to Africa - I take them all over the world, but never Africa or Muslim countries - except maybe Dubai (UAE) - but certainly not for Christmas!

You murder the infidels and you get to keep the loot. There’s nothing in the ROP allowing murder and forbidding robbery. The two go together. Happy to clear this up for you. (steam coming out my ears)
