Does Islam Have a Role in Suicide Bombings?

Frontpage Mag reprinted the above article from The Middle East Quarterly.

[6:114]  Shall I seek other than GOD as a source of law, when He has revealed to you this book fully detailed? Those who received the scripture recognize that it has been revealed from your Lord, truthfully. You shall not harbor any doubt.

[6:115]  The word of your Lord is complete, in truth and justice. Nothing shall abrogate His words. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.

[17:46]  We place shields around their minds, to prevent them from understanding it, and deafness in their ears. And when you preach your Lord, using the Quran alone, they run away in aversion.

The Quran in numerous verses states emphatically that the Quran is the only source of religious law for the religion of Islam (Arabic word Islam translates and Submission in English language). Following any other sources is defined as idolatry. The Quran also makes it clear that it is the only acceptable Hadith.

It is obvious that the so-called Muslim world practices a religion which has nothing to do with the Quran.

The Quran condemns suicide.

[4:29]  O you who believe, do not consume each others’ properties illicitly – only mutually acceptable transactions are permitted. You shall not kill yourselves. GOD is Merciful towards you.

Contrary to the writer’s assertion, verse 4:29 clearly condemns suicide. A reader can verify a word-to-word translation with the this link.
