Suicide BombingsPosts: Joined: 2007-02-10
I keep hearing other U.S. citizens condemn the Muslim suicide bombers for seeking martyrdom. But, we should rethink the idea.
Here in the United States, we have many programs in which you can "adopt" a starving child from overseas. I believe we should model a similar program for the suicide bombers.
Most Muslim countries seem to be very poor. And, I would imagine, explosives just don't come cheap these days. I would be willing to "adopt" potential suicide bombers for, something like $50 per month. They could send their pictures to their sponsors (pre-detonation, please) and perhaps even a short note. After they have saved up enough money to afford to blow themselves up, we are assigned a new bomber.
If one out of every 100 Americans would sponsor a suicide bomber, then we could help 3 million Muslims blow themselves up. It is a win / win situation. We could be a more peaceful world, and we can help them seek the ends that they seek.
Of course, we would have to have some method of making sure that the money we send would actually be used to blow Muslims up!
I think it is a wonderful idea! Any other ideas?

1- Now you americans reveal what is in your heart as to demolish muslims and kill them and only you were putting execuses for palestinians defending them selves as they dont have weapons like you to defend their home land.
2- You are already the west or let say people like you and of course america and britanin now are using bombing and killed thousands of muslims without us blowing our selves. Your sophisticated weapons did this idea and dream in lebanon as killing children and women, afganestan , iraq and every muslim country it will think of .
3- Keep your donation for your adopted or lost kids who even dont know their parents and lost and dont know the meaning of life, go and adopt them and our children they know in politics more than you , your money is not legal even to be accepted . so we are continuously are blowing from your country , so where is your new idea ?
Re: Suicide Bombings
Hey abdul, you really need to grow up! Somebody puts a post up that is designed to get your goat, needle you, push your buttons, whatever you want to call it, and right away you take the bait and respond. It is also very telling that with this one post from one person your immediate reply is:
"Now you americans reveal what is in your heart"
Please tell me how you make this fantastic leap to "this is what is in Americans hearts", when you read a post from one person. There are hundreds of millions of Americans and you claim to now know what is in their hearts from this one post huh? Can you grasp the ignorance of that line?

1- I know I have not to generalize, but it seems you and that guy he generalize us muslims as one category, so why now when I try to respond the same, Iam wrong. I know not all americans are with the post and they are more honest and intellent to know the truth, but it seems bias media will not keep those people neutral. Only also I want to deliver the message as if you americans generalize us muslims as one category , so also we are as human beings with our weakness , the same will be enforced to generalize you the same, so of course if you hate us, what you expect us to love you , of course hatret will spread then wars and all will be loosers.
2- Iam not ignorant , sooner or later any person will reveal what is inside his heart, but frankly their are some persons who never tell what the real inside their hearts and keep lying to themselves and others, but I believe no secrets remain for ever.
3- I like to be kid and not grow up, adult and grow people disrupt the world by their lying, dishonest, killing , hatret, loving only money and not feel sympathy to others. Kids are the purest in their feelings at least they dont know how to hate or lie unless they have bad examples of their parents.
4- I mean I know what inside that person heart from his writing and not all americans heart as of course only God knows their hearts. I know my self wright quickly then if any comment comes to me , I will admit of my mistake and not refuse it even from enemy , I think that is because Iam like majority of women who talk first then think. that is my weakness in that line only , but other issues as Iam involved in , know it very much. I consider the line is not ignorance as only quickly in writing my thoughts.
Re: Suicide Bombings+ What Does Islam Say about Terrorism
What Does Islam Say about Terrorism?
Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said:
God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8)
The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3
Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.4
He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,5 and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.6}7
Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: {A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.}8
He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals? He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}9
Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: {When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.}10
In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam
