The will of Allah?

About the attempted London/Glasgow bombings. My only comment being that the fact that no lives were lost on Friday and Saturday last week as well as on the 21st of July 2006 plainly shows that there is something to be said for the force of good against evil. Naive as it may sound, the implications of the plots having succeeded are too grim to imagine or brush aside.

The will of Allah? Your guess is as good as mine. I shall however repeat excerpts from an analysis on one of my previous posts:

"Fact: Most of the victims of Zaqarwi's bombs and attacks in Iraq have been innocent suffering Muslims; a large number of the July 7 bombing victims were Innocent Muslims. So where then is the victory.

The misguided will claim that this is a war and that they are soldiers. Fine, let me adopt that warped logic and analyse it a little further. The 4th Geneva Convention states: Article 32. A protected person/s shall not have anything done to them of such a character as to cause physical suffering or extermination ... the physical suffering or extermination of protected persons in their hands. This prohibition applies not only to murder, torture, corporal punishments, mutilation and medical or scientific experiments not necessitated by the medical treatment.

Article 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.Pillage is prohibited.

Article 4 defines who is a Protected person Persons protected by the Convention are those who, at a given moment and in any manner whatsoever, find themselves, in case of a conflict or occupation, in the hands of a Party to the conflict or Occupying Power of which they are not nationals.

In short if you kill a protected person, you are no longer a Soldier you are a common criminal. Of course the Anally retentive may split hairs and argue that the Convention does not apply if you kill your own country-men (July 7) well stupid, that's covered by the Laws of the Land and even in Iraq its a criminal offense for one Iraqi to kill another -unless as an act of state (aah! another topic altogether).Basically brothers it aint an act of war its a crime both Internationally and Locally, sorry but thats the truth.

Some have tried to impose Quranic justification on criminality, equally we run into a problem because the Great book specifically:A. Forbids suicide (Al Quran 4:29) and;B. The killing of civilians, women and children (Bukhari: Book of Jihad).

In addition the Quran states:"He who has killed one innocent soul, it is as if he has killed all humanity. And he who has saved one soul, is as if he has saved all humanity" (Quran 5:32).I didn't make this up its in there chaps, in proverbial black and white.The final thrust of all this is simple and as repeated above - humanity has always been and will always be a slave of fundamentalism, equally fundamentalism will always be a tool of the unscrupulous and Intrinsically Evil."

Now back to the question, was the failure of the bombs, the will of Allah, I would say yes it certainly was.
