Dude, really now. We should not waste a single calorie justifying our behavior to 7th-century heathen animals. They do not react to reason like a western person does. The coddling of these assclowns is one of the reasons we have not won a decisive victory yet.
Your example of the Enfield's pig/cow greased rounds is a good example how their worldview has not evolved one iota in the 154 years since that event occured.

Brilliant strategy, no wonder the Afghan War is about to exceed Vietnam in length. And also no surprise that people from countries nowhere near Iraq and Afghanistan (Nigeria, Yemen, Indonesia) are piling onto the “America is out to get Muslims” bandwagon.
It’s people like you, who cleave to the “yep, this sure is a Holy War!” mentality, who are giving aid and comfort to the enemy by giving them the ammo to spin up uneducated peasants and idle rich kids to go out and kill your fellow Americans.
