In the commonsense world of Islam, suicide is a bad thing - we ALL know this - there is no shock in this news.

We are expected to accept all that Allah SWT has put in our lot and to struggle to improve the situation - in any case, we say Alhamdolillah and move on.

So why do you think that the Saudi Top Scholars of Islam need to issue a fatwa suicide, specifically in reference to self immolation (setting oneself on fire)?

Simple. The act of one such person in Tunisia sparked off a movement that pretty much toppled an autocratic government and sent shivers in the rest of the world - including the "citadel" of Islam.

It therefore follows, that the so called Scholars of Islam - people who know our religion inside out, are not really interested in Islam because if they were, they would have had a fatwa out to topple any govt that restricts the rights of a Muslim! But they wont do that because they are in the pockets of the controlling regimes. They are nothing but puppets of regimes placed to appease the masses with meaningless drivel about aspects of Islam that have no relevance to the lives of Muslims today!

Shame on these scholars and on those who continue to believe in these people. To me this is another example to show that so called Scholars of Islam are not needed - using a little commonsense and knowledge passed via generations, we can come to the same conclusions that they have.

Before becoming the judge and the jury on such matters let us just think that may be they are trying to say that do not treat that person as a shaheed???

Secondly you are blaming scholars who else do you think has a right raise up against the governments?? How about the military, police, bureaucracy, you??? Why does it always have to be the scholars to take the blame? Why can you not stand up and say I am also responsible???
