   has zero tolerance for the "collateral damage". Even when it always happened   
   in the history, it was not    
   justified by the faith, but a "haram" deed (sin). Before 1914, the armies   
   would usually array against each other on the battlefield, and one side would   
   take victory. Though there were sieges of cities, raids and plunders on the   
   villages, in the last    
   century or so, the most of the victims are civilian casualties, starting with   
   carpet bombing and not ending with nuclear weapons and napalm.

   possible circumstances where they were tested.
