Islam Research Academy Condemns Suicide Bombings... Well... Kinda

By now we all know the stories about Muslim clerics who say that suicide bombings are in breach with the Quran. Today, we have a new one.

An Islam Research Academy in Egypt has now made - for once and for all - crystal clear that suicide bombers do not act in line with 'Allah's will'. No. Instead of becoming martyrs, suicide bombers go to hell, according to these Islamic scholars.

Good news one might think. Finally the Muslim world is speaking about against Muslim aggression, for instance against innocent Israeli civilians.

Well, no:

However, Israelis should not be happy about this strict ruling. Dr. Ottman was quick to hint that suicide against Israeli targets is allowed.

"Those using suicide bombing against the enemy, the land robbers, and the occupier of nations, are martyrs," he concluded.
