Suicide bombers
Herald Sun Thursday, August 16, 2001
Suicide bombers be warned. You are being deceived. God will not reward you. One who goes out to kill travellers or shoppers or holidaymakers is an assassin, not a martyr. Those who urge you to do this are not driven by God but by ordinary animal hatred. They are impatient to defeat unbelievers, and they lack the faith that God will achieve this through winning hearts and minds.
After all, you are not simply suicide bombers. You are suicide-murder bombers. And that makes all the difference.
Philip O'Carroll
