Pakistan Clerics Denounce Suicide Bombings... Well Not Really
I came across this story yesterday out of Pakistan about Islamic clerics denouncing suicide bombings. Sounds good on the surface but a closer look shows something different. It boils down to that they denounce the use of Suicide bombings against innocent civilians but that it can be used as a military tactic. So in their eyes it is totally understandable for someone to blow themselves up as long as it is under an enemy tank or in the presents of enemy soldiers. How sick that really is. But then again the Islamic material art school teaches this very thing in Australia and maybe even here in the United States. Here are a few noteworthy lines from the story:
In other words it would be ok if infidel were in the land.
This is where they justify the use of suicide bombers as a military tactic. Sickening!
First of all to insinuate that just because someone is poor they have to blow themselves up is absurd. This is something you are taught. Not to mention studies have found that most radical Muslims are very well educated and not poor.
Former minister Dr Mehmood Ahmad Ghazi said: “A suicide attack is clearly murder and its legality is further called into question by the fact that they occur in a Muslim state which is not occupied by infidels.”
In other words it would be ok if infidel were in the land.
Ahmed said that no final decree could be given on the issue, since a suicidal defence strategy was employed by the Pakistan Army at Chawinda to repel an Indian attack during the 1965 war, a strategy that was approved by the religious scholars of the time.
This is where they justify the use of suicide bombers as a military tactic. Sickening!
Determining the moral status of such suicide attacks is far too complex an issue to be sorted out by a mere ‘yes’ or ‘no’, he said: “After all, what can a Palestinian do when his parents and children have been killed, his house demolished and he has no means of earning a living any more?
First of all to insinuate that just because someone is poor they have to blow themselves up is absurd. This is something you are taught. Not to mention studies have found that most radical Muslims are very well educated and not poor.
