Not many people are showing a human side or using logic on this thread.
You are an exception to this.
Goddess bless you.

Firstly not of what you said refers to America's favourite Middle Eastern allies Saudi Arabia...
But obviously an invasion of their land wouldn't be beneficial to the troops or Congress would it!!
Secondly Allah says no such thing!
But if you prefer to believe The BBC on what Allah says over true Muslims go ahead!
It makes attempting to open peoples eyes to the truth about Islam futile because they've already taken the trance of those with vested interest!
Thirdly as I've rated in TWO separate posts those who died were Anti-Qaeda... Possibly planning to blow up Al-Qaeda targets.
Of course The BBC didn't think it would be convenient to tell us that because then who would be laughing at the deaths of human beings!!!
Like I said, and to rebut your statement of wanting to "fight" that sort of thing... The day Parliament & Congress decide to stop droning Women, Pensioners & Children, and begin to wage war against the fundamental terrorism of Saudi Arabia, is the day I start to believe that those who wanted this war actually give a single F about the innocent people of the Middle East.
Until then save the self-righteous NewsCorp/BBC rhetoric for somebody stupid enough to fall for it.
However nobody is well equipped enough to take in intelligent neutrals with such a tactic!!!
Peace.
The concept of martyrdom (shahada) in Islam can only be understood in the light of the Islamic concept of Holy Struggle (jihad) and the concept of jihad may only be appreciated if the concept of the doctrine of enjoining right and discovering wrong (al-amr bi'l-maruf) is properly appreciated, and good and bad,2 right and wrong, can only be understood if the independent divine source of righteousness, truth, and goodness (tawhid), and how the Message of the divine source of righteousness and truth has been honestly and properly conveyed to humanity through prophethood, are understood.

1) Another common response has mentioned "72 virgins"...
Firstly it's 72 wives, secondly and more importantly it's from a Hadith that is not authenticated within Islam, as is the situation with a majority of Hadiths. They are not Quranic verses.
2) Suicide is sin within Islamic tradition, as is killing innocent people.
So if their intended targets were innocent people, and not corrupt politicians, police or invading troops as I suspect was their initial plan, then they are not true Muslims as many have claimed.
My suggestion is to do your research, before you start talking absolute bull, that you love to parrot from the sources of NewsCorp & The BBC!!!
Peace.

A lot of know-it-alls spouting rubbish.
That's what I've taken from this thread mainly.
Couple of questions!!!
1) Where is a source claiming that the intended targets were "women & children" as so many have stated without a single credible piece of proof???
2) Why are the Anti-Qaeda deaths now something to laugh at when they are the only people who have helped the troops to fight Al-Qaeda throughout this invasion???
A couple of points!!!

Martyrdom has nothing to do with suicide or killing innocent people.
It is based on defending the Scriptures/Land against an enemy.
It's also stated quite clearly you must die in battle to be martyred. Not kill yourself in a random assault in fellow Muslims.
Which means they're not true Muslims which was my point originally.
Secondly if I decide to walk into a crowded Pub strapped with explosives and a Bible would I be judged in my Religion??? Even more importantly would the Religion be judged???
I highly doubt that.
Now I am not disagreeing with you or your source... My point was if you read through the entire thread people kept saying "women & children" were the intended targets!!!
Not a single source rates this and that was my main point regarding sources.
Maybe they would have been indiscriminate... but that's conjecture... the number of explosives found doesn't represent who was the target... Just that there was a target.
I agree with the Saudi part and have stated that numerous times.edit on 17-2-2014 by CharlieSpeirs because: Added to comment!
By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
