"The US and Iraqi forces have attacked (and fought inside) mosques numerous times when hostiles have used them to fire at troops.
The infamous video of a Marine shooting a wounded man in Fallujah was from the inside of a mosque."
That's true, but what I am saying is that this policy of being so cautious around "holy" sites is a flawed policy, IMO. If the mosque is used for a lauching pad for terrorists, the mosque is leveled.
That is what happens.
This Fallujah mosque was bombed twice by the US military. The Sheik of the mosque is hardly cowed by the attacks. He says he will continue to support the mujahadin fighters.. (Photo: Eunji Kang) |
