Good article from the Baltimore Sun. Javeed Akhter discusses how terrorists abuse the Islamic writings, twisting them for their own agenda:
Those who practice or sanction suicide bombing consider it a form of martyrdom. But suicide by any name is still suicide and is explicitly prohibited in Islam. Injunctions of the Quran and traditions of the Prophet Muhammad prohibit it in unequivocal terms. Similarly, killing of innocents is expressly prohibited. It is not collateral damage but callous murder.Hope this is required reading at Gitmo.
