Muhammad is the second highest source of Sharia after Allah. Both are required sources, and Muhammad’s rulings, teachings, and sayings are found in the Hadith collections. Sahih al Bukhari is, next to the Quran itself, the most authoritative source (of the six canonical collections).

Sahih al Bukhari-Book 56: Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihad)-Chapter 157: War is Deceit-hadith #3030:

“Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

The Prophet said, “War is Deceit.”

Recently, Biden gave his position in the war as, a position like- [We, the US, support Israel fully in this war, but if they keep doing their indiscriminate bombing of Gaza, then that might have to end].

No, Mr. Biden.
Firstly- fighting a war is like two men, [or 2 other adults], fighting over a sharp, deadly spear- you have to [do whatever you can] to make the man let go first,…or give up and leave the fight.

[There’s quite a lot of unpleasant things that a nation or nation(s) does, in a war, to make the other side give up on a war.
Some of those nations abandon ALL morals to [get the other nation to give up in a war. I don’t approve of people giving up all morals…or almost all morals, to stop a war. I don’t like that, but it [does] happen.]

Biden also said, in talking about the war in Gaza +/or Israel that- the US was in many wars + conflicts, since WW2, + not all of them were needed,…and that, [in his words], that: “The War in Afghanistan was not a war that the US needed to be in.”

You’re acting very horribly, when you say that.

You, Mr. Biden…while Vice President, + your big friend, Mr. Obama, [SUPPORTED the war in Afghanistan], while you were the Vice President.
You even said it was the “morally better war to be in, than the 2003 war in Iraq”, and that “the war in Afghanistan was the more practical war to be in, than the war in Iraq”.

Here’s the thing about wars- when you’re a world leader, like a vice president, or [a US President], you [can’t] first- support a war an ally is in…and the abandon it when you don’t like the war anymore- and you can’t abandon your support of a war…after it has ended…to get political support, or for whatever reason that you find.

I have friends who have, pre-2022, fought in the wars in-Afghanistan and Iraq.
Are you telling me, [and them, and any other Military people in that war, and any other people in that war, and the KIAs], that [their sacrifices were for nothing?…or their efforts + sacrifices were useless?]

I really hope that you are not.

In my view- you cannot abandon a war for your own gains.
You have to support a war, in most cases…no matter what unpleasant things are in it, until the war ends.

A motto from an unknown author, echos that view:

It is foolish to enter a war, without the will to win it.

I stopped listening to NPR about 20 years ago for that reason. Its bias was extreme.

I read a lot of military history. The bombing of Hamburg is in the running for the most horrific thing I’ve ever read. We did that. Our side anyway.
