Suicide bombing and all terrorist activities are categorically forbidden in Islam, but why people resort to it is a different issue altogether. You need to understand the palestinian situation.

I, in no way, can say that I understand every detail about the Palestinians but I am not ignorant either. I have studied Middle Eastern history quite a bit.
I have often seen and heard that terrorist activities are forbidden in Islam. Yet, when you see stuff like this, well.....it counters that what we are told, don't you think?
Here in the U.S., you will sometimes see an African-American wearing a shirt that says "It's a black thing, you wouldn't understand." That is simply not an exceptable statement to me. Well, I'm not Palestinian, nor Muslim, and I am trying to understand these things when I see it but simply find it hard to do so in situations such as this.
