Not sure yet if it was this Nidal Hassan who made it, and reading it looks different than what I've seen quoted.



Edited to add quote, in case picture doesn't work

There was a grenade thrown amongs a group of American soldiers. One of the soldiers, feeling that it was to late for everyone to flee jumped on the grave with the intention of saving his comrades. Indeed he saved them. He inentionally took his life (suicide) for a noble cause i.e. saving the lives of his soldier. To say that this soldier committed suicide is inappropriate. Its more appropriate to say he is a brave hero that sacrificed his life for a more noble cause. Scholars have paralled this to suicide bombers whose intention, by sacrificing their lives, is to help save Muslims by killing enemy soldiers. If one suicide bomber can kill 100 enemy soldiers because they were caught off guard that would be considered a strategic victory. Their intention is not to die because of some despair. The same can be said for the Kamikazees in Japan. They died (via crashing their planes into ships) to kill the enemies for the homeland. You can call them crazy i you want but their act was not one of suicide that is despised by Islam. So the scholars main point is that “IT SEEMS AS THOUGH YOUR INTENTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE” and Allah (SWT) knows best.

1. there might be more postings

But it doesn't surprise me that the MSM would distort the meaning behind his words to fit their sensational "jihadist" narrative.
I think we need to wait to learn more.

3. I agree, why I posted this. Good to see things in other context than "OMG!" from msm

2. "Scholars" also used to debate how many angels could dance on the head of a pin.

Comparing throwing yourself on a grenade and suicide bombing is a desperate attempt to find moral equivalency where there is none.
