"Holy war" against US mall shoppers

I agree with you.

Imam’s need to start being a lot more vocal about condemning and renouncing suicide bombings.

It is common sense, in Islam suicide is Haraam (forbidden) and killing non-combatants during war is also Haraam (forbidden) so suicide bombing is combining the two evils which is extra Haraam.

There is no room for new Ijtihad (deduction) in matters that are established by irrefutable evidence from the Quran and Sahih-Sunnah and even a 5 year old Muslim can tell you that suicide and murder are Haraam, Haraam, Haraam.

What the Iraelis are doing to Palestinians is wrong, so is what the Indians are doing to Kashmiris but so is what these terrorists do by targetting innocent civillians, two wrongs do not make a right, as Muslims we need to have higher morals and be more righteous, Muslims should not stoop to the level of Israelis or Indians because we are bound by the laws of God and no matter how angry and depressed we get we have to remember that we have God to answer to.

Killing innocents does not achieve anything, it is not in Islam or the Muslim nations benefit in anyway, it harms us more than anything.
