Suicide bombers are no different then the pakistani fighter or gunship pilot, nor the artillery gunners, nor the base commander where the drones take off, not even the top military and civilian leadership who approve, order and direct the killing and maiming of innocent women and children...
I have the courage and conviction to condemn them both...let's see if
No they're very different actually:
1) The pilots, base commanders are not omitting suicide - an unislamic act.
2) They're not deliberately targeting innocent civilians. But the taliban and other jihadis have a habit of using civilians as human shields.
The simple fact is that the taliban kill because they have gotten use to this lifestyle of killing and no matter what they do, it is considered halal as per shreeah. Their can be no debate with them on what islam actually means as they only consider themselves right and everyone else kuffar. That is the height of jihalaat we are facing today.
Also, tell me where in islam is it ok to mutilate the bodies of your enemy as the taliban routinely do?
