Bilal
I do not believe in what called religious ware between Judaism and Islam. We have Palestinian Jews who living in my city since 3000 years, also we have many Christian. This is pure political conflict between the Zionists who believe that Palestinian are inferior nation and they should give their country to the Jews, and on the other hand the Palestinian who believe that they should defend their country and their lives by all means.
There is a problem with some scholars of the extreme salafi Muslims who represent a tiny percentage of Muslims. I am sure they have many similar groups among all the rest of religions.
I am not so religious, but at least I know these verses of Koran which reject sucide and violence:
. "O ye who believe!... [do not] kill yourselves, for truly Allah has been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancour and injustice, soon shall We cast him into the Fire..." (Qur'an 4:29-30).
. "The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrongdoing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice. For such there will be a chastisement grievous (in the Hereafter)" (42:42).
"O ye who believe! Remain steadfast for Allah, bearing witness to justice. Do not allow your hatred for others make you swerve to wrongdoing and turn you away from justice. Be just; that is closer to true piety."
- Qur'an, Surah al-Maidah (5:8)
And fight in the way of Allah those who fight you. But do not transgress limits. Truly Allah loves not the transgressors."
- Qur'an, Surah Al-Baqarah (2:190)

selfAdjoint said:I believe Islam, like Christianity defines suicide as a sin, but martyrdom in support of the Faith as a sure guarantee of salvation. In neither case do they tend to look all that close at the detailed circumstances of the martyrdom, but there's the unspoken warning: "Don't try this at home!"
