If Islam teaches that suicide and the killing of innocent civilians is wrong why are there sucicide bombers?

Haha, here I am again! Thanks for choosing my answer in your previous question, I hope the email I sent helps. What I can say about your current question is that it says in the Qur'aan(or Hadith, I'll have to check again) that anyone in Islam who proposes a fatwa (his/her own verse or some such that retards the true meaning of the Qur'aan to acheive his/her own ends) is commiting a sin. Many of these clerics and fundamentalists are most probably doing this but I cant be sure because I dont listen to them. One thing that I can say about the hangings and extreme behaviour is that the Prophet Muhammad(p.b.u.h.) said that in all endevours we must "take the middle course", meaning do not commit anything in the extreme or anything lax. Try acheive the balance in what you do. Hanging Muslim women who show flesh is extreme. Leaving Muslim women to abandon their modesty is lax. People must remember that Muslim women do not wear the veil ALL the time. When they are within the threshold of their homes they can go as naked as the day they were born, but of course only in the company of their husbands and when guests are not present.\nI'm taking up space now!\nHope you find the answers your looking for!\nSalaams

Why do Moslem extremists believe they will go to Heaven if they crash airliners into buildings of innocent people?

In every religion there are going to be extremists.  For example, many members of the Ku Klux Klan are Southern Baptists.  Does that make all Baptists the same?  No, the Muslims you see in the media in Iran, Iraq, etc. are mostly acting out of their culturistic beliefs.  So, when you say the Western Muslims don't believe in executing innocent people, that's because they aren't extremists like the Muslims in the media.  \n\nNo true follower of God will encourage killing in the name of religion.  I have read the English Quran, and I haven't read anything that promotes killing non-believers.  I know many Muslim people and they are among some of the nicest people I have ever met.  It's the CULTURE that is different.

Terrorism is committed by many people of various religions and ideologies.  For the most part, the terrorists are motivated by greed, revenge or seeking power, and they are using religion as an excuse for their acts.  \n\nIslam itself does not teach or endorse terrorism.  Indeed, Islam forbids murdering women, children and unarmed men even in time of war.  It forbids the destruction of buildings.  It specifically forbids murdering fellow Muslims, yet the terrorists do this regularly.  The Qur'an says that terrorists will never see Paradise (or Heaven).  \n\nThe extremists in any religion who teach violence are taking bits and pieces of verses from their holy book, and twisting and perverting them in an attempt to justify the hatred they espouse.  \n\nOf all the major terrorist organizations in the world today, the majority of them are ones who claim to be Muslim.  President Bush has been very careful to distinguish that we are not at war with Islam, we are at war with terrorists who pervert the teachings of Islam.

Even understanding that suicide bombers aren't true muslims, islam is still a religion of hatred and darkness.

Here is the real question you should be asking:\n\nWhy do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?\n\nDeduct my answer to your question from my question.

For the last damn time. These are MEN that are writing this crap and butchering Islam. The same thing they did to the Bible. I have Muslim family members and was raised as a Muslim. I do not practice now, but I cannot say that I am not  a Muslim anymore, because once a Muslim always a Muslim in my book. You cannot take back shahadah(surrender to Allah) \n\nThose idiots who are bombing and so forth are just hiding behind Islam to justify what they do. No where does Islamic belief state that you go to heaven for killing yourself and others because of jihad(struggle) These people are not martyrs.

No sane Muslim would support the killing of innocent. Muslims are the biggest group of people who are victims of terrorism whether it's done by their governments, occupying forces (U.S.A.,Isreal..etc) , Alqaeda,...\n\nThe West only recognizes their victims! The only time they mention our victims is to occupy our countries in the name of liberating them from their aggressors. \nYet, they want us to mourn their victims, protest,... when it's them who sponsor state terrorism against us and cheerlead their country to wars (Afghanistan, Iraq, ..Next Iran, Syria...). \n\nIt's terrorism from both sides, even if you try to fool us and try to give it a rosy picture and call our victims "collateral damage". Prisons scandals, Massacres,etc and you still insist that you’re  the civil ones that are "fighting terrorism" ," liberating" ,...etc. \n\nIf non-Muslims think we support terrorism it's because they don't trust us and are ignorant of our victims of terrorism which outnumber theirs. The biggest terrorists live in the white house not Afghanistan. So, stop glossing your deeds because in the ME they can see right through you and are sick of it. They lost more loved ones than you can ever imagine thanks to your war on terror which multiplied the number of terrorists and shook the stability of the country even though you’d like to think otherwise (so you can continue to occupy other countries one after the other. ).

Terrorists are killing innocent Iraqis.  They want to have an Islamic empire where they rule.  Some intelligent Iraqis know the USA want to help them have a government with freedom and justice for the people.  That means religious freedom also.  In Islam there is no freedom for other faiths.  Other faiths get seriously persecuted.  \n\nThe USA is not killing the innocent.  If USA military does,  has to go to US court, decision is made if guilty or not guilty.  Just like if any one else murders someone.\n\nWe will win the war on terrorism.  The terrorists are the killers of innocent to terrorize the public to manipulate to control.  To a terrorists, it is okay to kill if it's for the cause of Islam.  Some Muslim people aren't Muslim enough or they're friend of US or they're children of an enemy of Islam.  If you don't convert or conform to Islam, then you're an enemy of Islam.  The only innocent Muslim is one who is one by the letter.  Basically, not one is that Muslim perfect.  Also,You have to deny Jesus the Son of God and deny that He died on the cross for your sins if you want to convert to Islam.

Because Islam isnt a religion of Peace.  It is a violent Terrorist religion.

No religion supports suicide bombings. In Islam it is forbidden to kill yourself, hence tobacco is not allowed as it is deemed to be a form of suicide. Suicide bombers are not and never will be Islamic. Islam is a tolerant religion that has been bastardised in the same way as Christianity was in the days of the Inquisition. It would pay for more moderate Muslims to speak up on this subject, but Peace and love do not sell news copy as well as fear and hate.

Suicide Bombers = Terrorists who kill others along with themselves.\n\nMurderers = People who kill others with or without reasons.\n\nMartyrs = People who choose to die for their beliefs, religious and/or political, without the use of violence (attacks and counter-attacks); in other words, they choose to be "sacrificed" willingly like Jesus.\n\nThus, suicide bombers are NEITHER murderers NOR martyrs, they are Terrorists.

The truth is that Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of hate, of terror and of war. A thorough study of the Quran and Hadith reveal an Islam that is not being presented honestly by the Muslim propagandists and is not known to the majority of the people of the world including Muslim themselves. Islam, as it is taught in the Quran (Koran) and lived by Muhammad, as is reported in the Hadith (Biography and sayings of the Prophet) is a religion of Injustice, Intolerance, Cruelty, Absurdities, discrimination, Contradictions, and blind faith. Islam advocates killing the non-Muslims and abuses the human rights of minorities and women. Islam expanded mostly by Jihad (holy war) and forced its way by killing the non-believers. In Islam apostasy is the biggest crime punishable by death. Muhammad was a terrorist himself therefore terrorism cannot be separated from the true Islam. Islam means submission and it demands from its followers to submit their wills and thoughts to Muhammad and his imaginary Allah. Allah is a deity that despises reason, democracy, freedom of thought and freedom of expression.\n\nI reject Islam a) because of Muhammad’s lack of moral and ethical fortitude and b) because of the absurdities in the Quran.\n\na) Muhammad lived a less than holy life. His lust for sex, his affairs with his maids and slave girls, his pedophilic relationship at age 54 with Aisha, a 9-year-old child, his killing sprees, his massacre and the genocide of the Jews, his slave making and trading, his assassination of his opponents, his raids and lootings of the merchant caravans and unarmed villagers, his burning of trees, his destroying the water wells, his cursing and invoking evil on his enemies, his revenge on his captured prisoners of war, his torturing of his captives to for greed and his hallucinations such as believing of having sex with his wives when he actually did not, disqualify him as a sane person let alone a messenger of God.\n\nb) An unbiased study of the Quran shows that far from being a “miracle”, that book is a hoax. The Quran is replete with scientific heresies, historic blunders, mathematical mistakes, logical absurdities, grammatical errors and ethical fallacies. Could possibly the author of this Universe be as ignorant as it appears to be in the Quran?

radical islam kills innocent woman and children on purpose.  The US would never target an innoceent person. You cant even compare the two although some try to.

In their fight to create the nation of Israel zionists participated in actions against Great Britain that were they to happen today would have been considered terrorism.  The same could be said of the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution and the Civil War.  \n\nI realize that doesn't strictly answer your question.    Here is a reference that should be useful:\nHonor and Martyrdom: Suicide Bombing Isn't as New or Alien as Westerners Imagine\n"The rate of suicide bombings - the seemingly endless supply of people prepared to blow themselves up - leaves a western audience utterly bewildered. What kind of psychology motivates people to such violent extremes? The incomprehension prompts revulsion that this form of warfare is historically unprecedented and reveals a peculiar, aberrant irrationality - a kind of inhuman madness. All too quickly, Islam is blamed for deluding its believers into martyrdom with promises of 72 virgins; the old prejudices about Islam as a faith uniquely associated with violence and unquestioning belief are fanned into life again.\n\nBut such prejudices won't get us very far in trying to unpick which elements of this violent phenomenon are in fact unprecedented and which are not - or to understand why the strategy has been adopted."
