Barak Allah Fekum.


The Oxford Dictionary even explains the true meaning of suicide, which is far from the description it gives towards the "Suicide" Bombing. :)

Did you even open the Oxford English Dictionary before posting this?

Taking your life to fight the enemy is not suicide, it is a strategic attack.

What do you think they should do?

They pull out a gun against fully armed soldiers, the damage they can inflict is almost nothing as the weapons and armour the Israeli Soldiers have are too sophisticated. The only way to penetrate such heavy armour and to cause as much damage as possible is through "suicide" bombing.

It is so sad to see Muslims speak out against them acting as if they know exactly the situation they are in.

I am so grateful that Allah does not think like us, rather Allah is Rahman, Rahim, Al-'alim (the knower of all), As-Sami (the hearer of all) and Al-Khaber (the All-Aware).

Oh so you wanna talk strategically eh? Well, put it this way: a soldier is no good if he/she is dead. By bombing him/herself he can take down what 10 or so ''targets'' and then he/she is gone. However, if that person was to use a sniper rifle (or other projectile equivalent) they could take 2-3 people in one day. In a week, that projectile soldier has done more damage to the opponent's army than the bomber has in one day. Additionally, their are far less non-military casualities. In simpler terms: bombing yourself provides your side with no advantages.

Swords were used by the Sahabah (may Allah be pleased with them) and grenades are a modern day weapon used by all armies/fighting forces. The only nonsense which occured was the link being removed.

Camels were used by the Sahaba (rda), so are camels the symbols of Islam?! I am shocked by the extent some people will go in their haste to depict Islam as a bloodthirsty religion of killing. Of course, that is pleasing to those Westerners who share the same goal! Nevertheless, Islam remains a religion of mercy, not blood-shed.

Suicide Bombing has already been discussed in the following thread:
