Now our dear Nura is pontificating about suicide

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), May 13, 2008 at 18:55

Our dear Nura who seems to be unaware that suicide is the ultimate complication of depression, a mental health problem that you will find it in any place and in every culture. So your Allah does not accept suicide but he is also the same Allah and based of his little gem of al-Qad'a wa al-qadr who plans everything. So if there is one to blame our dear Nura for suicide: it is your Allah.

>Western countries have one of the highest rates of suicide in the world, NOT ISLAMIC COUNTRIES!!!

Really? And why is that Nura? Could it be because we in the West keep track of how many people die from just about anything and every thing while in Muslim countires such statistics just do not exist? Or if they are collected then if a person commits suicide then the cause of death can be changed as a Muslim is not supposed to kill himself? What do you think our dear Nura?

And while we are at it: could you provide us with sources to support your claim? And remember the following will not be regarded as evidence:

1. wikipedia

2. Muslim Pakistani web sites

3. My Mullah told me so

4. My husband told me so

>It would seem that the West consecrates it more based on sheer numbers.

Islamic gobbledygook

>Islam FORBIDS suicide. this is undisputed within the religion of Islam.

Really? Could you provide me with evidence from the Qur'an?

For the readers: the Qur'an is silent about suicide and even the Quranic la taqtulu anfasakum was read by Tabari as and do not kill yourselves as in to kill one another

>"Suicide Bombers" do not call themselves Suicide Bombers!! They do not believe that they are committing suicide, but fighting.

Right! and that is the sad part and if they commit suicide then there must be some doctrine in islam that you are unaware of that would allow such poor men to kill themselves. What do you think our dear Nura? Could be the 72 virgins or the boys in the case of Mohamed Atta who was not really in virgins?

>So then we are at the lingo of war.

Lingo? really? I must add this little treasure to your psychopathy and pathological

>The Japanese during World War II were called similar names when they would use their planes as bombs knowing that they would die. It is an ethical question. What if a soldier went by himself into a battalion of enemies knowing that he would die for his country? He is then a HERO. He died a heroic death, no. Was it suicide?

As far as we know no deity promised the Japanese that they will get 72 virgins or boys if they are not into virgins our dear Nura
