Discussing Jihad, while war continues

Chris G. has pointed out that "within modern Islamic theology there is some debate as to whether or not suicide bombing is allowed against a military target". Isn't it great to have these wonderful discussions going on while hundreds of thousands of people are succumbing to Islamic violence?

The only difference between "historic" Islamic theology and "modern" Islamic theology is nothing more than the quality of weapons available. In historic theology, Muslims used bows and arrows, swords, knives, sticks, fires, rocks and anything else that could kill. Modern Islamic theology uses airplanes, vehicles loaded with bombs, children and young adults carrying bombs, assault rifles and rockets. Yes indeed Chris G., Islam has need made some great strides forward in the killing fields. May we all be proud of them and praise be to Allah who continues to encourage the application of new technology in the destruction of Infidels and of course Muslims. And may all Muslims headed for heaven, meet their young 72 virgins...
