“The terrorists distort the idea of jihad into a call for violence and murder,” the White House maintains in its recently released “National Strategy for Combating Terrorism” report.

But internal Pentagon briefings show intelligence analysts have reached a wholly different conclusion after studying Islamic scripture and the backgrounds of suicide terrorists. They’ve found that most Muslim suicide bombers are in fact students of the Quran who are motivated by its violent commands – making them, as strange as it sounds to the West, “rational actors” on the Islamic stage.

In Islam, it is not how one lives one’s life that guarantees spiritual salvation, but how one dies, according to the briefings. There are great advantages to becoming a martyr. Dying while fighting the infidels in the cause of Allah reserves a special place and honor in Paradise. And it earns special favor with Allah.

“Suicide in defense of Islam is permitted, and the Islamic suicide bomber is, in the main, a rational actor,” concludes a recent Pentagon briefing paper titled, “Motivations of Muslim Suicide Bombers.”

Suicide for Allah a ‘win-win’

“His actions provide a win-win scenario for himself, his family, his faith and his God,” the document explains. “The bomber secures salvation and the pleasures of Paradise. He earns a degree of financial security and a place for his family in Paradise. He defends his faith and takes his place in a long line of martyrs to be memorialized as a valorous fighter.

“And finally, because of the manner of his death, he is assured that he will find favor with Allah,” the briefing adds. “Against these considerations, the selfless sacrifice by the individual Muslim to destroy Islam’s enemies becomes a suitable, feasible and acceptable course of action.”

The briefing – produced by a little-known Pentagon intelligence unit called the Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA – cites a number of passages from the Quran dealing with jihad, or “holy” warfare, martyrdom and Paradise, where “beautiful mansions” and “maidens” await martyr heroes. In preparation for attacks, suicide terrorists typically recite passages from six surahs, or chapters, of the Quran: Baqura (Surah 2), Al Imran (3), Anfal (8), Tawba (9), Rahman (55) and Asr (103).

Particularly 9:111, which guarantees Paradise to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah.

Muslims are breaking the basic principles of Islam in their daily lives. These people cannot be regarded as Muslims from a theological point of view. But this is not enough to please far-right and far-left lobby.

For example practicing Muslims cannot use contraception. That means the rate of population growth should be extremely high in countries like Pakistan and women should end up having fourteen or more babies, but this not the case.

Muslim cannot involve in usury that is charging or paying interest on financial transactions. Guess! What type of financial system we have in Pakistan? It is similar like any other Western country.

But this is not enough to stop poisonous propaganda. It will continue at any cost. They will keep on propagating stereotypical images of Muslims.

appears to me that the ‘divide and conquer’ strategy works wonders… on the global scene and on this blog

this ‘group’ against that ‘group’… one religion against another, one nation against another, rich against poor, colour against other colour… repubs against dems, and on and on and on

atrocities are and have been committed by christians (currently killing innocents in iraq in record numbers), muslims, jews, etc throughout history… in honour of one or another god… and their’s is the ONLY peaceful god (please note sarcasm)

one needs to ask… why do we war? if war worked, why does it continue?… and ask further… who benefits?

dig deeper… religion and nationalism are tools used by the controlling powers that exist in most current governments, in the UN, IMF, WTO, and the Vatican… to control the masses… to incite fear anger and division amongst people when power control and greed are the dominating factors the determine policy

government, media, many so called ‘religious’ leaders are often controlled by those who stand to profit most… follow the money trail to see the only ones who benefit from war…

war! what is it good for? PROFIT and control… poor people killing other poor people for the sole benefit of a very few, very rich, who manufacture war, profit and never fight…

the pope is part of the agenda as the vatican was in ww2… my personal opinion is that the pope intentionally incited violence to further the divide and the media is playing right along… who owns and controls what you are told?

war is a business, war is a racket… this global war ‘on terror’ is being intentionally incited by those who stand to profit the most financially… not for freedom and democracy… never has been, never will be

peace be with you… refuse to war

What a nut house. What a lot of finger pointing from all sides. As if there is one single nation, one single group of people form a single religion, single ethnical back ground, on one single tiny part of this planet that is absolutely purely innocent of the demise of another. What a lot of empty talk. Bravo!

Of course, wasting time by playing the blame game is so much easier. And maybe even fun for some?

I feel I’m gonna have to wait a loooong time to see a single post that would work towards any idea of a solution.

The challenge is still on, people.

I was referring to a much more fundamental part of history, an ‘evolution of the human mind’ so to speak. Did u even read the rest of my post?

”Kat, Eileen, I, and others here know what is involved in freedom. Contrary to belief, freedom isn’t free. Its very costly, in both lives and money. Our nation fought and won its independence through great sacrifice…”

Anyone from any nation would agree with that. What I wrote about though, is unfortunately something that failed happen anywhere but the parts of the world where the culture of the ‘western world’ is prevalent.

Again, please re-read my past post.

Regards.

Now my thought is when the foundation of morality in society is none, then people need religion as the reference to develop ground rules for morality, source for relate one person to other(s) people.
However, when the community or people have established their norms and understanding on morality to their environment, then I dont see the need to refer to the early foundation which may not suffice to the needs of todays society.

Therefore in this consumerism world, the world of global news, however we have to suffer attacks, battles on religion which actually do not really mean anything but to gain political power over nation(s) which at the end means also money.. money

So go on eat the war !!

Plus, I never do those things you said (on the above post). I think you’re over-stereotyping all Moslems or all people that speaks for them.

Now please people, constructive comments please…

“When you meet the unbelievers in jihad [holy war], chop off their heads. And when you have brought them low, bind your prisoners rigorously. Then set them free or take ransom from them until the war is ended.” (Koran, 47:4)

“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and his messenger and strive after corruption in the land will be to be killed or crucified, or to have their hands and feet chopped off on opposite sides, or to be expelled out of the land. Such will be their humiliation in the world, and in the next world they will face an awful horror.” (Koran, 5:33-34)

“When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet sin. So that Allah’s word is proven true against them, then we destroy them utterly.” (Koran, 17:16-17)

“In order that Allah may separate the pure from the impure, put all the impure ones [all non-Muslims] one on top of another in a heap and cast them into hell. They will have been the ones to have lost.” (Koran, 8:37)

“How many were the populations we utterly destroyed because of their sins, setting up in their place other peoples.” (Koran, 21:11)

“Remember Allah inspired the angels: I am with you. Give firmness to the believers. I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers: you smite them above their necks and smite all their fingertips off of them.” (Koran, 8:12)
Quotes from Islam’s Most Famous Spokesman

It is better for a girl to marry in such a time when she would begin menstruation at her husband’s house rather than her father’s home. Any father marrying his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven.

Ayatollah Khomeini

(Quote taken from Khomeini’s book, Tahrirolvasyleh, vol. 4, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990, Source: Homa For more sensational and outrageous quotes regarding “taboo” issues, please see the Homa website.)

If one commits the act of sodomy with a cow, an ewe, or a camel, their urine and their excrements become impure, and even their milk may no longer be consumed. The animal must then be killed and as quickly as possible and burned.

Ayatollah Khomeini

Eleven things are impure: urine, excrement, sperm…non-Moslem men and women…and the sweat of an excrement-eating camel.
Ayatollah Khomeini
“A man can have sexual pleasure from a child as young as a baby. However, he should not penetrate.” - Khomeini

Matthew 10: 34-36 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

Deuteronomy 7:2 And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.

Psalms 58:10 : The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
