suiciders

[centepede]

---

It is said that Muslims live and die for Islam, as emphasised by the following opening supplication read daily: “Verily, my prayers, my Haj rituals, my life and my death are all for Allah, Lord of the universe�.

But what exactly does life and death - and living and dying for means? What is worth dying for? Would Allah welcome suicide bombers? Or would any religion condone such senseless crime against humanity - whichever way it is rationalised?

The renewal of act of self-destruction in the recent Bali bombings reflects yet another manifestation of a perpetually ‘bipolar-disorderly’ world as modern globalisation rears its ugly head. Bipolarism is a condition characterised by a total disjuncture, acute cognitive dissonance, and detachment from the physical reality of the person who suffers it. Shock treatment, therapy, and anti-depressant medications become ways to deal with this mental and spiritual degenerating psychological condition.

The age of globalisation has now become, and created, its nemesis, the age of global terrorism. It is carrying with it the global fear of a rapid deterioration of, borrowing Heidegger, the ‘spirit’ of this world; ‘spirit’ that ought to be evolving towards global peace.

To commit suicide is a choice. We are free to choose whatever we want(with limitations)...but suicide bombers are blinded with their faith and belief that there is an eternal reward of whatever it maybe for the sacrifice they made. See what religion can do?...for me it's okay to commit suicide if you wouldn't bother any individuals...if you want to die then just silently make it on your own...life is a choice...and nobody chooses to be born in this world...and to die in your own hands symbolizes a great freedom of choice...i believe that we are the kings of ourselves...so we have the ultimate right to kill ourselves...

you know what..... muslims persuaded in their minds:

TO KILL A NON-BELIEVER IS HOLY.. thats why they intend to consign suicide in front of non-muslims.

binuang man ni!!!!!!!!!!

i don't know where u heard that. no, that's not in the Quran.

And if you believed it right away without even confirming it, sakto ba?

I'm a Muslim and I wish people would not discriminate Islam.

I just read the gang rape of a 3 yr old girl sa Minglanilla...the persons who did it where Catholics, so it right to say that Catholics are rapists? I'm sure everybody would say no.

This was also the words of Christians back in the 10th to 14th century A.D.Â* These were the times of the Crusades....were battles were fought to claim the land of Jerusalem.Â* Religion always plays a role in every Generation of Global Conflict.Â*

This subject is very crucialÂ* & we already have problems on our own...lets just move on & take one day @ a time.Â* Lets not go any further debates on this issue.

^ you're right

I just wanted to say the vast majority of people who practice Islam are peaceful people and are friendly towards non-Islams. Suicide or violence is prohibited in the Quran. And those who commit violence are not just "blinded by their faith", but sadly corrupted by extremist who take the words from the Quran out of context. They only pretend to pratice Islam but have their own agendas.

@misfit: I read the gang rape story and I don't recall any of the accused being identified as Catholics.

extreme radicalism is a bane on any religion, maski sa Catholic naa man like the Inquistions in the Dark Ages...

of course it was not mentioned. but if they were Muslims, it would certainly be mentioned.
