Atrocities in war

 No side is exempt from atrocities in war. During the Second World War, the Germans, the Soviets, and the Japanese routinely carried out wartime atrocities. Because of this, a lot of people would assume that the Western Allies were just and honorable during the war.

This was definitely not the case, and one example here was the Chenegone Massacre carried out by elements of the US 11th Armored Division To set the stage, it was late 1944 and the Germans had just launched a surprise attack more famously known as the Battle of the Bulge. One of the German units at the front of the attack was Kampfgruppe Peiper Of the 1st SS Panzer Division. During their charge, they massacred 84 American POWs in what is now known as the Malmedy Massacre. The Americans quickly got word of this and the news understandably angered many troops fighting on the front. So when the Americans captured the town of Chenogne, there was no mercy for the German POWs. The Americans tried their best to cover up what happened here, however, an entry in General Patton's diary corroborated the accounts from people who were there. The entry was "the division is very green and took unnecessary losses to no effect. Also murdered 50 odd German meds. I hope we can conceal this." They lined up the prisoners and machine-gunned them down. At least 72 POWs were murdered. Photo of The page of General Patton's diary that mentioned the massacre.
LESSON-HISTORY IS WRITTEN IN FAVOUR OF WINNER BUT IN COURSE TIME SOME TRUTHS COME OUT

Suddenly, a familiar tune begins to etch itself into my subconscious mind. Rule Rule Britannia.... Britannia rules the waves.... Rule Britannia, it is the famous patriotic soundtrack composed by James Thomson back in 1740, it became the iconic song and chorus for the British navy on her quest to ravage and ransack nations "not so blessed" as her. If I were to be so ill fated as to have to infringe upon British waters by means of illegal boat entry, I would certainly not miss the opportunity to sing this song on my way into the country. It would be the most ironic and unexpectedly funny situation to witness.... 🎢🎡🎢 Κ€α΄œΚŸα΄‡, Κ™Κ€Ιͺα΄›α΄€Ι΄Ι΄Ιͺα΄€!

Of all the faith communities in the world, the Muslim community is the MOST in need of Media training and strategy. No one else comes even close. If the Ummah were a physical body, it would be in need of immediate CPR (Critical Public Relations) training.... But what are the root causes of this problem?? Well, let us start with misplaced expectations and warped perceptions of reality since most ordinary Muslims are well intentioned, principled and naturally expect the same standards from the Media. This mentality is a Fatal mistake on our part. It is neither a duty nor a virtue for media outlets and corporations to comply with the moral standards that govern the lives and interactions of Muslims. Our moral standards do not apply to everyone, let us accept that reality and act accordingly (while we are here, st...
