This quotation shows The Prophet relaying a message from Allah. This quotation is often used to explain the reason that Islamic nations often support each other regardless of interests, legality, or morality of the position. If the other Muslim nation is a friend of Allah’s, and one opposes the other Islamic nation, then one is not only standing against Allah’s “friend” but Allah himself might make war on you for standing against his friend. So for Islamic nations like Turkey and Pakistan to even be supportive of anti-terrorist activities against Islamic terrorists is a politically, culturally and religiously very difficult thing to do because fundamentalists will cite this quotation and warn that the policy may well be “standing in enmity” against one of Allah’s friends. For most Islamic nations, their religious culture produces a basic instinct to support other Islamic nations against heretics (the Judeo-Christian West or the Hindu-Buddhist East) lest Allah declare war on them.
Confederate General Wheeler had introduced a new tactic of mining the roads with improvised explosive devices which took their toll on Sherman’s troops. At the time, this was against the ruled of war. Sherman ordered a few Confederate prisoners to the front and required them to walk ahead of his troops and demine the roads. He then allowed some of the prisoners to return to General Wheeler with a note from Sherman, explaining that if the Confederates persisted in this unethical form of warfare he would march all of the Confederate prisoners in the front of the troops and force them do remove the explosives by hand regardless of the danger. Wheeler never planted land mines again.
