i believe there must be misunderstanding on using kids and women as shields. the martyrdorm (shahid) is not that easy to perform. yes, muslim teach everyone and every children to be prepared especially for the death. but that before doing something related to death, it is highly recommended to have a discussion peacefully. yes sometimes i a m quite disgree with the snobbish attitude of some muslims especially arabs but in the case of palestinians in gaza, they are the one who suffer, and frankly they dont want to take this risk eagerly as peaceful discussion can be done actually. why cant you see how the muslim children and women are suffering from the huge injury? it's easy, they dont want it. they dont want any war to happen because the israelis will probably attack everyone including the non-army people. and yet, they still consider every death of millions of muslims as accidental death. so, this would tell how they cheat in this war. they even burnt masjid (mosque) before war is held.
one thing that most people refuse to practise is sharing. concerning this issue, it is the land that they must share. back to the era of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w when he was the muslims leader, he never forced the non-muslims under his rule to embrace islam. they were allowed to practise their own religion peacefully.
