RIYADH, 23 April 2004 — The Kingdom’s grand mufti said yesterday the perpetrators of Wednesday’s deadly blast would “burn in hell” for killing innocent Muslims in the attack.

“God has promised wrath, damnation, painful torture and an eternity burning in hell for those who deliberately kill a Muslim... Unjustly killing a Muslim is the gravest crime and cannot be atoned for,” Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh said after visiting blast victims at Central Hospital here.

At least five people were killed and 148 injured in the suicide bombing of buildings of special security forces and the Traffic Department. Some 83 out of the 148 injured were taken to Central Hospital, where one succumbed to his injuries and five are still in the intensive care unit.

The grand mufti, who was consoling the injured soldiers, told them their act of bravery would be rewarded by God and their services and sacrifices honored by the state and all true Muslims. Al-Asheikh said the attack must not be considered jihad since it had nothing to do with religion.

“This was an act of sin, and Almighty Allah will punish all those who were responsible for this devastation, which has taken innocent lives and distressed numerous families,” he said in a statement.

The grand mufti added, “Aiding, calling for, or facilitating the murder of a Muslim is tantamount to involvement in murder and all who do so will be thrown by God into the flames of hell, for so dear is the sanctity of Muslim blood.”

A group calling itself the Al-Haramein Brigade has claimed responsibility for the attack. The group had admitted to blowing up a car belonging to a senior security officer in Riyadh last year.

“Aiding, calling for, or facilitating the murder of a Muslim is tantamount to involvement in murder and all who do so will be thrown by God into the flames of hell, for so dear is the sanctity of Muslim blood.”

Translation: Killing infidel dhimmi Americans is Okay, though.

[goldstategop]

Exactly. And why all the rage? If you blow yourself up you get to have 72 virgins. I haven't heard the Grand Mufti address that one.

[RBroadfoot]

Hey, come on!

It's a step in the right direction!

“Aiding, calling for, or facilitating the murder of a Muslim is tantamount to involvement in murder and all who do so will be thrown by God into the flames of hell, for so dear is the sanctity of Muslim blood.”

How charming! No wonder they believe they are the chosen ones. Isn't it bad to unjustly kill anyone, no matter who they are?

[wingster]

...innocent Muslims ...

Right! If this had been any other innocent people it wouldn't have mattered!

Exactly why Islam must be contained, not spread here to this country!

[wingster]

Yet another example...

Al-Asheikh said the attack must not be considered jihad since it had nothing to do with religion.

Would have been fine if it had been Christians or Jews!

[wingster]

Hey, come on!

It's a step in the right direction!

Bull Shiite! It's business as usual! Anyone fooled by that is naive! These people are savages! If you're not muslim, you're not safe! Even if you are muslim, apparently there are risks.

Unjustly killing a Muslim is the gravest crime

Does anybody in the Arab world see how venal and self-centered this statement is? I mean, are non-Muslims somehow more worthy of being killed?

[wingster]

I think anyone with a brain and any semblance of individual thought can see it. That's why libs struggle with it!

[wingster]

Let's face it, the Quran openly declares over and over and over and over ... again that there's nothing wrong with the elimination of anyone who isn't muslim, especially if they refuse to convert!

It's all in there, just gotta take the time to read it.

[wingster]

It's a religion of oppression and hatred! Straight from the pits of hell.

[eclectic]

Not hell fire, but "Hellfire"

[Iberian]

I want to see the math, besides the 72 virgins whats up with the river of wine.

[goldstategop]

On earth Muslims are forbidden to indulge in alcohol but they may partake of it in paradise.

[Saudi Arabia:] ‘Hellfire Awaits Perpetrators’

What a coincidence! Israel has the same policy!

[radiohead]

Unjustly killing a Muslim is the gravest crime and cannot be atoned for

But kill all the Jewish children you want. No biggie.

THIS IS VERY INDICATIVE

of the difference between the

SOURCE

of the menatlities, emotions, habits, customs etc. of the sincere, genuine, committed, authentic adherents to the very different religions of Islam and Christianity.

God Almighty vs the demonic moon god called Allah, has provided a means of attonement even in the Old Testament. And, with Christ's death on the Cross, confession of sin, repentance and acceptance of Christ's Blood covering was and is sufficient to cover ANY sin or collection of sins [though blaspheming against Holy Spirit is not covered and is considered the only unpardonable sin. Though there is mention that a person's heart can become stone cold and so resistent to God that there is essentailly no more functional chance of hope for redemption--that is evidently a process vs an incident].

However, Islam has seemingly a thousand and one reasons to burn in hell--seemingly some of them without too much premeditated effort toward doing so--some evidently even for Moslems.

Personally, I much prefer a God of Mercy. The Bible declares that Mercy triumps over judgment. Praise God for that else there'd be no hope for any of us.
