In this latest taqiyya session coming out of Saudi Arabia, the head of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, Sheikh Ibrahim ibn Abdullah Al-Ghaith, explains that suicide bombings fall under the Qur’an’s prohibition of suicide. This is in “Al-Ghaith Denounces Suicide Bombings,” from Arab News, with thanks to Jeff Lastname. However:
The verse adds that suicide is considered an “injustice” punishable by hell.
Sheikh Al-Ghaith did not address suicide operations by Palestinians and Iraqis. Many Islamic scholars in the Arab world see attacks on occupiers as justifiable.
So it’s suicide and punishable by hell unless it’s done by Palestinians or Iraqis? What if someone is half-Iraqi? Will only half of him be roasted in hell? Or will he have to serve only half of his sentence there?
Later on in the article, he refers to the dhimmis, showing once again that the concept of dhimmitude is alive and well among Muslims:
Sheikh Al-Ghaith also emphasized the importance of protecting dimmis or non-Muslims living in an Islamic country. “It’s the government’s duty to protect them and if anybody kills such dimmis he will not be able to enjoy even the fragrance of Paradise,” he said, quoting a Hadith of the Prophet (peace be upon him).
They must live as despised inferiors subject to institutionalized discrimination, but at least they shouldn’t be killed. Gee, I feel so much better.
