#1  There are no "civilians" in the Middle East. There are non-combatants living in war zones who become collateral damage when militants hide among them.

Many of them try to flee their war-torn homelands, but most of them encourage the never-ending violence that defines the Muslim world.

Until Islam drastically changes, or is decisively defeated, there will always be "civilian" casualties.
