If it is a matter of survival, i'd say sell them or execute them. | ||

A major concern is if morality is universal or particular | ||
edgewalker69 |
Arguably, you toke them into captivity and thus sealed their fate anyway | ||
edgewalker69 |
the moral decision was made long ago | ||
edgewalker69 |
by them | ||

When your ancestor King Richard toke Antioch in the 3rd crusade, he executed several thousand prisoners, because he lacked the supplies to feed them. I'd say the prisoners knew the risk when they toke up arms against the King. Wouldnt you agree? | ||
edgewalker69 |
So if morality is universal, he would immoral, but if morality is particular, he was in the right. | ||
edgewalker69 |
I should add to the story, as the King executed the prisoners infull view of Saladin's army, they imminently executed all their prisoners too. | ||

What a world back then | ||

Remember I told you the concept of the \"nation\" \"tribe\" \"clan\" and \"family\" may offer some insight into this issue. The game changer for the west, is the emergence of Jesus Christ, believe it or not. | ||
edgewalker69 |
In Rome, the concept of the individual did not exist, you were part of your family, and everything you did reflected on your family and its honor. | ||
edgewalker69 |
So if you insulted someone from another family, your family was fair game | ||
