Islam prohibits euthanasia?

Islamic scholars have generally prohibited the discontinuation of life support machines, since the Koran advises: "Don't throw yourself into death." Nabil Shaath, the Palestinian foreign minister, reacted violently to press reports yesterday that Palestinian officials had arrived in Paris to "pull the plug" on Arafat.

"We don't accept euthanasia," he said, Arafat "is in the hands of God."

How ironic. Apparently strapping on a bomb and blowing up a pizzaria isn't "throwing yourself into death" or taking life out of "the hands of God".

The Bible has many similiar passages that when taken out of context can support just about any action someone wants to do. You don't see many Christians strapping bombs to their bodies and killing people because of the different environment that most Christians grow up in, and the history of Christianity. But many people throughout history have died at the hand of Christianity; it's not just a special thing for some crazy muslums.

This sort of thing is a major contribution that ordinary citizens can contribute to the fight against the islamofascists, a demand that moderate muslims follow the logic of their own religion and declare these people evil apostates and treat that declaration seriously.

It's a surprisingly fast sort:
1. Do you believe that the koranic prohibition on suicide bans what is conventionally understood as suicide bombing
a) Yes: this is a moderate (go to question 2)
b) No: this is an extremist (back away slowly like with any other crazy)

2. Are people who believe that the acts generally understood as suicide bombing are islamically acceptable apostate as muslims understand the term?
a) Yes: this is a serious moderate who deserves support and protection
b) No: this is somebody who is not serious and you should not pay too much attention to whatever else they have to say.

There, one question, sometimes two, and you've figured out who is who and what is what.

commiting suicide is a major sin in the religion of islam, as it shows you have lost hope. i.e. suicide bombing. some people in media merely pose as muslims for worldy benefits.

the 9/11 thing is just to turn people away from the truth of islam. the final barrier for the satanists who rule the world is islam which is the religion of God, a religion of peace.

greater jihad means war against yourself to drive away devilish temptations, and to control animal desires. and to submit to the creator, God.
