AS-salaamu `alaykum.
Sharingan, the point in me reviving this thread was to give attention to the article on the subject of the hadeeth, tafseer of surah al-burooj, did you actually read it or not?
As for the issue of mujaahideen, then the difference is we support any true mujaahid and not the human time-bombs. Equating the two is despicable.
And akhi Al-Qurtubee, the only "daleel" you have brought is your own person analogy, weak analogy at that. Yes we are allowed to eat the haraam out of fear of death, yet eating the haraam in the case of suicide attacks would resort to a hastened death?! So in one instance, the haraam is being used to ward off death, and in the other, to hasten it?! If you ask me, its senseless and all praise is to Allaah, no Scholar of Islaam that I am aware of, who is known for his `ilm has used such an argument. Where in the shari`ah does such analogy stand, the situations are way different?
And such acts, you say they are needed in modern warfare? Let me ask you a question. What do you know about modern warfare if anything? Like the article I've linked mentions, the usefulness in the tactic has been removed, they are not effective means in achieving anything really. Worse yet, and this is the prime problem, they are being used towards people whose blood is haraam.
Considering my last statement, lets suppose there are no suicide attacks. What would happen is that kuffar would rape and kill our mothers and sisters, kill our children. In short, a death penalty for many persons.
Your last statement didn't have any solution to the problems you mentioned. We have all seen, heard and read about instances where these unfortunate circumstances are occurring, and at the same time these bombings take place, yet they haven't done nothing to prevent the Muslims from further harm, except in some, isolated and rare/specific cases such as events that took place in the India-Pak wars). How can you claim that the disappearance of bombings would lead to an increase in rape etc. I mean, especially when they tend to take more innocent lives than enemy fighters!
