On Friday, a surprise ISIS attack saw the group overrun much of the Syrian border city of al-Bukamal. 10 suicide bombers and a number of fighters emerging from the desert quickly seized parts of the city, the main border crossing into neighboring Iraq.
While this underscores how quickly ISIS can carry out attacks in the Euphrates River area, it doesn’t mean they can necessarily hold that territory. Reinforcements from the Syrian military quickly rallied at al-Bukamal and repelled ISIS from multiple areas.
The Syrian Observatory forr Human Rights reported that ISIS has been expelled from inside the town, and is now just in western and northwestern parts of the city’s outskirts. This would be a quick recovery indeed for the Syrian military after a big offensive.
Over the weekend, 30 pro-government fighters were killed, which included a military general. 21 ISIS fighters were also killed, including 10 suicide bombers who started the offensive by hitting the city defenses.
Will the ulema ever be able to change quran at least only that much to command that the suicide is deep sin against Allah?
Of course, demand from or command to the Islamists to spread Islam even by killing people by suicides should have never appeared in the Quran.
And what can clergy, lamas, gurus, rabbinate do to help mullahs change the Quran so as to remove even possibility of justifying suicides on just mere interpretation[s] of what Quran says now.
Of course, clergy and rabbinate should finally cease with their own never-ending interpretation[s] of what the Bible says.
The Bible, self, does not say much of protreptic value [if even of any value– and if not all of it being fake], but adding interpretation to it, just adds more confusion, anger, sadness, fadness, madness, helplessness, etc.
And as we know, a lot of believers, avoid the Bible like a plague.
To me, it makes no sense. And as we know, no sense always; w.o. fail engenders no-sense. In other words, one keeps one’s peace, calm, etc.
