Muslims claim to be the children of Abraham, well don't they include the 10 Commandments in the Qu'ran, and if you break them you do not go to Heaven. God also said "he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword".

Which begs the question, how does an abortion clinic bomber justify his acts to himself?

Muslims-Jews and Christians are seeds of Abraham.
Muslims don't believe in Heaven and Hell.
Radicals can justify any belief-like kill for Allah and go to a land of Paradise with 11 virigins and suck up wine all day.
Hey what does the women get in paradise? 11 virgins also?
God got it right in Hosea 4:6 My people are destoyed by lack of knowledge.
Dumb ignorance for sure.
Leviticus
19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the LORD.
That is Old Testament: Its a commandment no matter who or how you read it.
Any religion should take stock of that and follow it.
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR as GOD loves us!

We dont.
Suicide is Haram(prohibited) under all conditions.
Killing is only allowed in defense, and even then suicide is NOT allowed.
During the early days of Islam person who was once fighting in defence of Islam was seriously injured in a war. He fought very well infact. But he was in severe pain due to his wounds, so he comitted suicide. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said that he is a citizen of hell, because of his act of committing suicide.
Muslims claim to be the children of Abraham? No, no, no, those are Arabs, who really are the descendants of Ismael(son of Abraham), while Hebrews are the descendants of Israel(Ismael's brother). And not all Arabs are Muslims, nor are all Muslims Arabs.

The people who justify suicide bombings aren't real Muslims because they don't believe in God ,they believe in murderous fanatics like bin laden. Real muslims do themselves a disservice by not distancing themselves from these Devils who are expecting 70 virgins when they die but will really get an eternity of Hell.

These radicals are just using religion as a motivations and rally for supports from others. Many sucide bombers just want the money for their families. That's a reflection what living standard and condition they are exposed to.
On the other hand, you can say the same thing to soldiers with christian religion. Thous shall not kill but don't they spread their bullets and bombs over other humans ?

You don't have to justify anything if you are dead. Ergo, they take action based upon Blind Faith in their leaders, their gods, and their families to 'sort it all out'. In the meantime, they do what they feel like doing and use various sales strategies to market the idea to the world and to their own conscience.
Our society is happy as long as violence goes downhill from the powerful to the powerless (Oil companies, abortion doctors, pedophile priests, abusive police), but if one of the exploited turns on their masters, the media and society doesn't know how to handle it except to turn it into a spectacle of death to sell more news of the grand designs of 'civilized' behavior and show the masses how horrible it is to lash out at your oppressors.
It's o.k. after a certain time period if it benefits the Powers That Be (American Revolution led to more cashflow in the world), and the 'rebels' can be glorified somehow to sell costumes and trinkets and fireworks. Otherwise, uprisings must be quashed with terms like 'terrorist', 'violent faction', 'cults', 'fanatics', and 'savages'.

Think you got your religions mixed-upped. Their ten commandments come in the form of five pillars. Agree with you completely bout Thou Shall Not Kill. There is something more I respect about person that blows themseves up for ill concieved cause, than people on both sides that sit on there safe fat butts and fire missle that kill.

Suicide is forbidden in Islam. So is murder. So is killing innocents in time of war.
However, Islam is realistic and recognizes there is war. Thus, there are rules for war. Muslims can not harm women, children, elderly, houses of worship, religious men (priests, etc), trees. There are more, thats it in a nutshell.
Islam is not about by living by the sword. Its about living by the word of God in a harmonious balance. We are not supposed to transgress our limits in war, and yet we are not supposed to keep turning the other cheek till trauma to the face. I'm not talking about the current conflict. At this point, there is a war going on between extremists and the West -- not regular Muslims. Muslims live peacefully and work in the U.S. so its not like that.
Also, regarding the current war, it is no war that Muslims should partake in. These extremists are just that -- extremists. Muslims do not recognize them as right or as any authority. We need peace in the Muslim world -- not violence.

GOoD question, but God said thou shall not murder! Killing was part of war and capital punishment. did you ever wonder how many hospitals muslims have built? Christians are the only ones who promote life and the caring for others. extreme muslims just want to kill the infidels.

Thou shalt not "KILL"? ---or--- Thou shalt not "MURDER"?
Thou shalt not kill is more spefically translated as "Thou shalt not MURDER." Use a Concordance and look up the original Hebrew word for "Kill" and you will see that the translation from Hebrew is more accurately "murder," meaning to "kill without just cause."
This is one of the reasons why it is believed, by Christians that 'killing' in self defence is justifiable, however, murdering for sport or for any other reason is what the commandment is refering to.
So, as you can see, the Muslim believes that they ARE defending their faith (themselves) against the attack and watering down of their religion by the "infidels" in the world, which in their eyes...
They believe they are 'killing' infidels (Not murdering them) in self defence, even if it is with bombs strapped to their chests and innocent women and children are killed (I say murdered) in the process.
It is all their twisted use of the Scriptures and of course by adding their own holy book with verses that contradict the teachings of Christ, they have afforded themselves the "wiggle room" to just blow the whole darned world up, it seems.

the author of Exodus develop into writing from a polytheistic attitude. Monotheism shows up later in the Bible. That commandment signifies that of each and every of the existent gods, Yahweh is the guy who should be worshiped. The commandment in elementary words is smart in a polytheistic context.
