In response to Diab,

Diab: <<I personally deplore and strongly condemn suicide bombers because as
muslims ( if they claim they really are) we believe as taught in all the
three Abraham religions also , you will go to internal hell if you commit
suicide plus worst still kill innocent people in the process (except in self
defense-which does not apply to the suicide bombers anyway)>>

This is the point i've been making through out. Where i feel very strongly
about it is when teenage girls are exhorted to do this in the name of a
legitimate cause like the Palestinian one... this is simply crossing the
lines of 'By Any Means Necessary' Malcolm X et al have taken to resist
subjugation. I find also deeply unbecoming Sambou's insidious attempts to
bracket Mandela and the ANC's dignified and militant resistance against the
the South African Army in the same category as nihilistic suicide bombers.
Yes, the ANC did wage a guerrilla war on the South African Apartheid regime;
yet, they've NEVER crossed that crucial boundary of dignified self-defence
and or resistance against their oppressors into the barbaric nihilism of
suicide bombing, especially where they'll have to resort to sending teenage
African girls on suicide missions targeting civilians.
