@CheGuvera

I did’nt think you were that naive…when Salahuddin and the Crusaders fought, the battles were between forces who had a lot more parity in resources and armament…Today’s scenario, where one side is overwhellmingly dominant and stronger, the only way to confront them is through low-intensity assymetrical warfare…Give the Palestinians and all the rest of the oppressed peoples of the world f-16s, Abrams, M1A1s, Apaches and etc…and they too would take up the honorable method of bombing their adversaries into smithereens from 30 thousand feet…

Asymmetric warfare is for secular movements like communists. Does our deen permit us to deliberately kill the non-combatant civilians of another nation simply because we are too weak to kill their soldiers?

Collateral damage, where you target military facilities (say, the headquarters of a superpower’s military) but in doing so kill civilians are one thing. Delibberately targetting and killing people on their way to work is entirely another.

Re: What is the rationale....

Look we don't even know who did this and why?

Someone deliberately targetted civilians yes, but for what gain, would any Muslim movement gain from this...hardly!

there is this really cool argument, that can permit anything and everything is Islam if u want to skew the religion the way u want to see it. its the doctrine of necessity…“jaan bachanai kai liay” haram things are allowed…go figure…

There r no justifications.

The brits are a tolerant lot, we will all need to work harder to ensure we maintain and build on community relations, cos we will not let the cowards win, inshallah.
