15. Long history of communal violence.
Treat Christians as hostages and as members of the opposing tribe caught in the enemy's territory.

Nothing new. Except that it's making print. Then again, that's not entirely new; it was fairly frequent in the 1800s and early 1900s. What's new is the scope of the killing.

So few people. Trivial compared to the historical record, actually.

The current batch of "devout Muslims" are much more tolerant than their great-grandfathers were.
