"Say No" to Islamophobia
Suicide is forbidden in Islam so the concept of "suicide bombing" is fundamentally unacceptable in Islam.
The intention behind suicide is to escape the problems of this life. Life has become so burdensome for them, they decide to end their lives. Those who strap bombs around themselves in order to kill as many of the enemy soldiers as possible are not tired of life. This is a form of military strategy. The Hamas Movement resorts to this method of attack because they do not have the military strength to confront the enemy on the battlefield.
In terms of civilian deaths in Israel, those involved in the struggle there argue that the whole population undergoes military training and most carry arms, particularly the settlers in the occupied territories. Consequently, the population at large are not considered civilians, but military reserves. They also argue that their military operations are not directed at civilians.
Nearly all young men and women involved in suicide bombing operations in the occupied territories were people driven to such acts by desperation. Their families mourn their loss, but explain that such acts are about the only way remaining to fight back and end the occupation. They explain unbearable levels of oppression on daily basis, home demolitions, land confiscation, torture, mass impressments, denial of the most basic rights: access to schools, food, access to hospitals during emergencies, access to water and electricity ......
Targeting innocent civilians, whether by military operations, "intentional" or "collateral damage" such as combat airplanes dropping bombs in residential areas, suicide bombing, or any other form of war resulting in the killing of innocent civilians, is absolutely prohibited under any circumstances.
