Hamas release video of British suicide bombers

Two British suicide bombers brandished assault rifles and called on God to punish Tony Blair and President George Bush in a video released yesterday by Hamas, the Palestinian terror group.

The footage of Asif Hanif, 21, from London, and Omar Khan Sharif, 27, from Derby, showed the two men justifying their forthcoming attack on a Tel Aviv bar.

Omar Khan Sharif and Asif Hanif

Hanif killed three people and injured 55 more when he blew himself up in the attack last April but Sharif is thought to have fled after the explosives strapped to his torso failed to go off. His body was later found washed up on a nearby beach.

The explosion at Mike's Place killed a musician, a waitress and a customer and came only hours after the publication of President Bush's "road map" for peace.

In the video Hanif says it is "an honour" to kill Jews.

I posted this the other day on an earlier similar topic but think it's still appropriate...

..suicide bombers believe they will become martyrs by forcing the hand of God. They kill in God's name and then believe they force God to pardon all sins they may have committed. They are then granted a place in paradise by their works, their actions, their deeds. NOT by Faith but by forcing the hand of God. This sounds like arrogance to me.

Many Suicide bombers have videos made of themselves prior to carrying out their "martyr mission". In Palestine as soon as any ticking Ahmed Al-Kaboom goes "ka-blooey" family members take to the street holding aloft pictures of the "de-parted departed". Indeed the PLO has often made larger than life Billboard space available to the images of these killers.


If the martyr is carrying out a mission to honor God ,and in the name of God, why do they seek the praise of men? Why do the parents, brothers- sisters -uncles -aunts -extended family seek recognition as being related to one who famously martyred themselves for God?


Seeking the praise of man is its' own reward. When bomber families receive their 30 pieces of silver have they not received their payment? Have they not taken Honor and Glory from God by these actions? If the whole act of martyrdom is to do the work of God and give Him Honor and Glory by a sacrifice of ones life, and one then fishes for man's praise does that not violate the act of martyrdom?


Haven't these bombers and all those who support them just robbed God of his Honor? Is God not a jealous God ? Jealous to watch over that which is His? Weren't Satan ,and a third of the Angels, tossed out of Heaven for the crimes of Arrogance ,Pride and seeking to rob from God that which was his?.


Is it not a sin of pride to seek after man's approval after claiming to be doing an act "For God's Glory"?Is not Santan guilty of pride? How does one "force the hand of God" and not be guilty of Pride and Arrogance? How does Islam explain away this seeming paradox?

They're just terribly, terribly sick POS's!

British Suicide Bombers


Hamas, "the Palestinian terror group" released video of "British" suicide bombers?

The footage of "Asif Hanif, 21, from London, and Omar Khan Sharif, 27, from Derby,"

Perhaps they lived in Britain, they are not British. Islam has no allegiance to any country, only to the mad dog writings of the twisted, perverse, false prophet that can be found in the Koran. We need to stop pussyfooting about this violent whore called a religion, and wake up and realize that recognizing it's legitimacy is counter-productive and deadly.

The religion of pieces.

The longer we wait to acknowledge the war declared against us AND FIGHT BACK the worse the cost we pay in the meantime.

Especially the cost of losing our Bill of Rights and Constitution.

I pray that God's hand will move before that which is inevitable will happen. I have little faith in the politicians to take a decisive stand when it might affect campaign funds or being declared "politically incorrect".

Blessings, Bobo

Yeah, but I've heard that it's Australians making films about Christ who are the real threat to Jews. This must be a diversionary tactic.

Sharif is thought to have fled after the explosives strapped to his torso failed to go off. His body was later found washed up on a nearby beach.

Must have decided to go for a refreshing swim and forgot
the rule about not swimming within an hour of shahid.

Waddya think? Drowned in shame or Drowned for failure?
It's not nice to let down your fellow shahids.
Sets a bad example don't cha know.

Somewhere in that photograph is a SNL skit just waiting to get out!

I can see John B. as the Samuri Shahid!

'Sharif is thought to have fled after the explosives strapped to his torso failed to go off. His body was later found washed up on a nearby beach.'
