Don't get me wrong.Rules do exists, the Geneva convention lay out the rules of war. However IS are not a nation state or a signature to the convention, but just because they haven't signed does not give us the right to ignore the rule of war. If we go into this not caring about collateral damage to civilians then for every "innocent" civilian we kill we will generate for IS 10 or more new fighters.GLOSTERI'm well aware of the Geneva Convention. Unfortunately, IS aren't. And that's what relevant.

And that's what relevant.What is relevant is that we have to follow the Geneva Convention, we cannot ignore it just because IS do - if we do not follow the conventions then you will find our soldiers, airman in court and serving time for War Crimes. No matter who we fight in this day and age we, the signatures of the Geneva Convention, have to abide by its rules. We cannot pick and choose when we apply those rules

CoventryIs this the one you mean?http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/alan-henning-beheading-british-muslims-warn-aid-workers-death-marks-the-beginning-of-the-end-for-isis-9774528.htmlWe frequently hear people complaining that the Muslim community in this country doesn't condemn the barbaric acts committed by SOME Islamists. They've been doing it loud and clear over ISIS. I assume that those who have complained in the past are taking note.
