(bismillah )
All glory is to Allah, the Most Merciful The most graceful.
Evrybody on this board, has raised the issue of jihad in Islam, weather muslims or non muslims, and most concider suicide bombers in palstine as terrorists, wether muslims or non muslims.
Me as a muslim, and as I heard from many scholars, and read from Islamic books, the
jihad in palestine is halal, and it is a must, and we are to help them with whatever we can. Now as for killing children and women along with others, we know this is not allowed in Islam, but still we are not to judge that and say that they are terrorists
and they are going to hell. We leave this to Allah Almighty, he knows best, and he only knows the intention of people.
And here is a fatwa by sheikh Bin baz about the palestinians.
Question of Fatwa
What is the Islamic legal ruling concerning the current Palestinian Intifada: Is it Jihad in the Cause of Allah? Is liberation struggle regarded as Jihad in the Cause of Allah?
Name of Mufti Sheikh `Abdul `Azîz Ibn Bâz

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
All praise and thanks are due to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger.
Dear questioner, we would like to thank you for your question and the great confidence you place in us. May Allah reward you abundantly for your interest in knowing the teachings of Islam!
Speaking about Jihad in Palestine, the late erudite scholar, Sheikh `Abdel-`Aziz Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on his soul, has issued the following fatwa:
"Reliable scholars have unanimously agreed that Palestinians who participate in the current Intifada are sincere and true Muslims, and that their Jihad is in the Cause of Allah. This is due to their being oppressed by the Jews. Thus, they are obliged to defend their religion, their souls, their kith and kin, and their children, and to devote all power and energy in order to drive their enemies out of their home.
and here is the link for the fatwa

about the suicide bombing, here is the fatwa that says it is halal(by Dr. Fuad Mukhaymar, from islam-online:
We'd like to address a point; all scholars agreed that what the Palestinians carry out in showing resistance against their enemies is not a suicide bombing; rather, it's to be called martyr operation.
As regards your question, the late Azharite scholar and the head of the Sunni Egyptian Institutions in Egypt, Sheikh Fu'ad Mukhaymar, states the following:
"The view adopted by the majority of our contemporary Muslim scholars, describing as martyrs the Palestinians who blow themselves up in the occupied land in showing resistance against the aggression, is correct for the following reasons:
A person who blows himself up sacrifices his life for the survival of others. He dies for his homeland and his holy sites.
and here is the fatwa in full
http://www.islam-online.net/fatwa/english/...?hFatwaID=44297
the following is the
fatwa issued by Sheikh Faysal Mawlawi, deputy chairman of European Council for Fatwa and Research:
"Martyr operations are not suicide and should not be deemed as unjustifiable means of endangering one's life. Allah says in the Glorious Qura'n: "And spend of your substance in the cause of Allah, and make not your own hands contribute to (your) destruction; but do good; for Allah loveth those who do good." (Al-Baqara:195).

So I hope this is enough proof, that suicide bombers in palestine are not terrorist, they are fighting for a noble cause, and we should all help them even with duaa'.
And to those sisters and brothers in Islam, who condemen the palestinians, and say they are not shaheed, do make sure of what u say before making fatwa. What kind of world is this that makes the occupier innocent and the occupied a terrorist. What kind of law that says, I am killed, my mother my daughter and my children killed, girls are raped, and then i just sit and say, yes come and kill me more, and for what, for a lie that Israel built, they have no right in that land, it is mentioned in the Torah, so their cause is not holy, their cause is to rule the world, and I feel sorry for those who really beleive that the jews are fighting for a holy cause. In Islam we must be pride and defend our deen and dignity, what are we doing now, nothing instead of condemning Israel and the ones aiding it we are condemening the palestinians.
On the day of khaleefa Al-Mu'tasem, in palestine there was a woman who was insulted by a kafer or a jew I do not know what( I think she was raped, I will look up for the full story( any1 who can help me with that, brothers and sisters) so she called WAMU'TASAMAH, the news reached the khaleefa, he prepared an army, headed to palestine, and fought until he caught that man, and he presented him as a slave for the woman, and she said he is free for Allah. so c the difference between then and now.
We need to build ourselves we need true muslim leader who fears no one but Allah. We need a new youth that does not follow super star and star academy and the latest fashion trends, we need true muslims who will fight for the cause of Allah.
May Allah Al-Mighty forgive me if I am mistaken. If I am right it is from Allah, if I am wrong it is from my ignorance.
Wasalam 'alaykom wa rahmat Allah wa barakatuh.(Walikum)
