"we should substitute hirabah, which means “sinful warfare,” for jihad; and use mufsid, an evil or corrupt person, instead of mujahideen. I argue we should also substitute murder bomber for suicide bomber, because the goal is not to kill oneself, but to kill “infidels,” and the explosive vest or car bomb is merely the tool of the mufsid."
I do want to be precise.
My home page has a few tidbits and links on this.....
Sorry, I know you intend well here, but to call it anything other that "suicide bomber" is confusing and sounds almost dishonest.
Consider, if a newspaper reports, for example, that someone in this country opened fire in a public place, then turned the gun on himself, it's called a "murder-suicide," or even a "mass murder suicide."
Well, the word "bomber" identifies the act as mass murder, so it only needs the prefix "suicide" to tell us exactly what's going on.
Also, perhaps you noticed? Many victims of suicide bombings have not been "infidels," but rather fellow Muslims. Go figure.
