#3 So the interpretation of the supposedly holy Koran is left to the guys with guns. Hmm. Let me think, what does this mean?

#6 Anyone who says Islam does not allow suicide bombing should take back their words or action may be taken against them,

Paging Yusuf Qaradawi to the white courtesy phone.

All that awaits is a death fatwa against Qaradawi for his highly publicized discourse upon exactly why "martyr" operations were halal (permissible). While Islam's ~~scum~~ lower ranks have no problem making death threats against all and sundry, isn't it curious how their clerical elite just can't seem to kick down with any serious criticism or action against their own aristocracy?

#7 "Withdraw your fatwa against suicide bombing, or I'll . . . I'll come over there and blow you up myself!"

#8 The issue, as it pertains to "Fiqh" as far as I understand it does not pertain to suicide per se, which is un-Islamic only if it is unavoidable. (There is a saying by little Mo about a guy who fell on his sword, after fighting valiantly, to relieve the pain of death, that he would go to hell). It does not take a genius to reason that the target is intended as other than self, and that blowing up yourself is only an unavoidable consequence.

The other issue is targeting of civilians. Mohammed sanctioned the use of mangonels in the siege of B. al-Nadir IIRC, in concious disregard of woman/child casualties. AFAIK both have reasonable Isnad.

#9 I'm all for them having a little religious civil war. Keeps them occupied and off our backs. If we support both sides, just so.... They could end up killing each other off for decades!
