Fair enough mate,
but it depends on in what light you see suicide bombings, and as you rightly
stated there could be 100 interpretations for each verse, so with due respect
to you too I disagree with what you purported to and supports 100% what the
Hamas freedom fighter said.
You may call it suicide bombing but others see it as legitimate act of warfare
and as disgusting as it may look and sound to some of us living faraway in
relative peace , to those folks it's indeed proper to employ such tactics, and
who am i to question them, when i live in Southampton, and do not have to
endure what they have to endure 24-7??.

Regards
Manneh
