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. _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
