It's your typical every other day scenario on the news, depicting a suicide bomber having "blown up innocent civillians on a bus." Is this Islamic? Is it a religiously motivated act? No. Or is it? I dont know... that's where we need to dig deeper and think and express our opinions on this very controversial issue.
There's thise huge misconception on Zionism and Judasim which ties in with this issue of "blowing up the Kuffaar." Judaism is not what we're up against, we're in harmony with them - to an extent. It's Zionism we really need to pinpoint and combat. I hope to provide more insight into the two and how they radically differ, in fact, are direct antithesis and opposites of each other, in the near future within this thread insh.
So back to the our original debate. Is suicide bombing Islamic? Definitely not. The Prophet's methodology and strategy of war clearly reflect this. Is it a religiously motivated act? I'm sure a few heads nod at the key word "religious". I've heard people literally say "they're blowing themselves up to glorify Allah." I pity the height of stereotyped misconceptions.
Personally, I believe it is more of an act of desperation and no doubt there might be a slight element of religious motivation, but it's pretty much Palestine's only defence method. But is that any consolation? Does that justify it? I do realize that I will get PELTED on disregarding the plight of our brothers and sisters in Palestine and their situation, however, the ONLY reason I'm doing this is because the truth... the law... will not appeal to emotions - a heart breaking tale of a helpless palestinian baby being mercilessly murdered will not decide who's right or who's wrong. Why? Simply and very sadly because that's how the world has been shaped. So let the comments flow...
