Suicide bombings passion of Infidels not Islamic


From last two weeks in Pakistan Fridays were well comes by the deadly attacks of suicide bombers, in those suicide attacks hundreds of innocent people were killed and maimed. On the 2nd July a twin suicide attack that killed 42 and several were injured at Pakistan's most popular Sufi shrine, similarly on the next Friday that is on 9th July Pakistan has another suicide attack and this time that was the deadliest attack throughout the year, in this attack death toll reaches to 104 and hundreds of innocent peoples were wounded.

After the attack on Sufi Shrine Pakistanis put the blame on US and as usual US has Taliban story. Yet none of the existing terrorist organisation has been claimed responsibility for Shrine attack, on the other hand the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed responsibility for the blast of 9th July. Reportedly when Pakistanis were interviewed after the shrine attack they said that “ might be Islamic extremist behind the slaughter at the ‘Data Darbar shrine in Lahore, the root cause of the violence was America's war in Afghanistan, its missile strikes in Pakistan's tribal regions, and its alliance with Islamabad.” "America is killing Muslims in Afghanistan and in our tribal areas, and militants are attacking Pakistan to express anger against the government for supporting America” as told by Pak government officer on the basis of anonymity.

It might be true that suicide attack happening in Pakistan because of America’s invasion of Afghanistan and attack on Pakistani tribal areas, but I want to put my comment on Pakistani people’s view and want to remind them that, how can America leaves Afghanistan before digging all the treasure of minerals or as per US government yet they haven’t nabbed Osama Bin Laden. As we have seen what happened with General Stanley McCrystal, Obama turned furious on him after his scathing comments and has been sacked and it’s not me but the war critics like Noam Chomsky, Amy Goodman and many more who told that “it is only oil factor behind War on Terrorism.”

Whoever is responsible for the suicide attacks that is not my focal point but Islam condemns such kinds of attacks and never justified suicide as legitimate action. In the various sermons Islamic Maulvis repeatedly said that suicide is illegitimate in Islam and if anybody who practiced suicide will be excommunicated as per Islamic law. Suicide bombings might be a passion of infields but not at all mentioned anywhere in Islamic law as legitimate. Islam never preaches to attack on the worship places and not to kill the innocent people, after rectifying all these queries even if anybody does this sort of act then they will be called as infidels.
