Why suicide bombing is not Islamic
Recently we heard about a suicide bomber in Kabul who killed many innocent people.
Previously we heard about suicide bombings in Palestine and other places.
For these reasons it is rather sad, not only to hear of innocent people being killed or maimed, but also that Islam is being blamed for such killings.
Islam is a religion that teaches people to have dialogue and to solve issues through other means before resorting to fighting.
When Islam first came about blood shed was greatly reduced and the killing of innocent people was forbidden.
It is so unfortunate that we hear many instances of deaths and atrocities caused by so-called suicide bombings.
What is more unfortunate is when these bombings are carried out by Muslims.
We are then told that this is "Islamic terrorism."
However, Islam does not have or support terrorism.
Suicide bombing itself is something new and has no basis in Islam.
It was actually from the Sumarai Japanese who felt that it was a shame to live. They either died fighting or killed themselves in the end.
In Islam life is life. It is not allowed to take ones own life or someone elses.
Any capital punishment must only go through the court and must have witnesses, evidence and so forth. The certain cases are rare.
Killing women and children is never allowed. Or old people, or those who don't want to be involved.
If someone has carried out suicide bombing it is not Islamic.
They may not enter paradise as well.
It probably happened due to ignorance and people believing it is the way to help their cause, but it is not.
Therefore, as Muslims we cannot accept suicide bombings. Neither the killing of innocent people.
We are asked to speak good and do good to all people, not to harm or take lives.
If we could help people to understand the true understanding of Islam, we would not have to explain such things.
