  War Ethics in Islam - IslamonLine.net - Ask The Scholar
In war, as it is in peace, the instructions of Islam are to be observed.
Islamic war was one of liberation and not of compulsion.
Whether Arab or Egyptian, Muslim or Christian, Islam built up that FELLOWSHIP that humanity aspires to, in equality and fraternity.The story is well known of the running contest held in Egypt and won by an Egyptian to the dismay of an Arab competitor who was the son of `Amru Ibn Al-`Aas, governor of Egypt.

 The war for Islam - The Boston Globe
Never before in the history of Islam had representatives of every major sect and school of law assembled as a single body, much less come to terms on issues of mutual concern.
To be sure, unlike Christianity, Islam has never had anything like a ``Muslim pope" or a ``Muslim Vatican." Religious authority in Islam is not centralized within a single individual or institution; rather, it is scattered among a host of exceedingly powerful clerical institutions and schools of law.
By seizing the power of interpretation from the iron grip of the clerical institutions, these individuals are not only actively reinterpreting Islam according to their own evolving needs, they are shaping the future of this rapidly expanding and deeply fractured faith.

If in a war the Muslim army occupies an area of the enemy country, and is encamped there, it does not have the right to use the things belonging to the people without their consent.

 Islamic military jurisprudence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rules of war in Islam are the basic religious laws of war governing the military conduct of the mujahideen [those who engage in Islamic holy war–jihad ("struggle")].
Generally, a prisoner of war could be (at the discretion of the military leader): freed, enslaved for the purposes of labor, or sold on the slave market.
For such mujahideen movements, the execution of prisoners of war is a powerful political weapon (particularly in asymmetric warfare), while the ransoming and enslaving of prisoners of wars is a lucrative source of funding for their militant movements as well as a source of personal pleasure.

 Islam's attitude towards war
Some have tended to criticize Islam for allowing war and even ordering it to put an end to the domination of injustice and oppression, and to help the oppressed and establish a social atmosphere of freedom where the truth can be preached.

 The Ayn Rand Institute: A War against Islam
Islam, we have been told again and again, is really "a religion of peace." Perhaps the reason we have to be told this so many times is because it so obviously contradicts the facts.

Our "real war" should be to debate how best can we apply Islam's golden principles in social, political, economic and social life, and assure the "real warriors" that an Islamic government would never pose a threat to their interests.

 Madrassas and the Notion of a "War on Islam" [Weblog] - Daniel Pipes
Madrassas and the Notion of a "War on Islam"
Moussa's relatively mild statement fits into a larger context of increasingly alarmist claims that the West is engaged in a "War on Islam." That, for instance, is the title of two wild-eyed, conspiracist books in English and no less than 14,000 mentions at google.com.
This topic needs to be addressed by politicians: No, it is not a war on Islam, nor is it a clash of civilizations, but it is a war on a totalitarian ideology, a war that Muslim governments (including the Algerian, Egyptian, Turkish, and Afghan) are fighting with no less determination than are Western ones.
