I want to know if its true, why Bin Laden and Al Qaida leaders won't go for the suicide missions by themselves so as to go to heaven and have the so-called virgins up there, instead of sending innocent brain-washed people. Or do they prefer hiding in Pakistan caves and bushes to going to heaven and having the reserved so-called virgins?

No, suicide in all its forms is completely forbidden in Islam.

Suicide is a sin in Islam, therefore it is forbidden. The Prophet Mohammed said before they engaged in a battle that any Muslim who dies fighting to defend the religion would go to heaven. Suicide attacks, which also kill innocent people is definitely against all interpretations of Islam. However, western media likes to exploit this and the so called "Islamic fundamentalists" give them all the excuse they need. True Islam does not and cannot approve of taking lives no matter what. And it definitely needs a contemporary interpretation.

Every war needs a leader. And often leaders consider themselves to valuable to put themselve in harms way.
Just like our presidents rarely visit the places we go to war with until after the war is over.
Bin Laden may not look it but he is very rich and supports
Al Qaida without his support they would crumble and he knows it therefore he is choosing to stay alive, in hopes that Allah will give him credit for all the killing he supported.

cause they needed Bin Laden here to plan more stuff.
They were expecting a Clinton lack of response, and doing alot more things. They even said 9/11 was just a start.
You all have a Texican named GEORGE W BUSH to thank that there has been no attacks on American soil since 9/11. Yet all you ignoramusus do is curse him..
Sad

killing innocents is forbidden in islam. if they expect to have good reward by doing against God's law, one thing to remember is that the reward isnt following their desire.
btw, do you expect bin laden and al qaeda leaders to open yahoo answers and answer your question?you cant expect others know their reason doing what they do.

For the same reason Bush and all the cabinet members don't have their butts out there on the lines with the GI risking getting their butts blown away. BB

Osama Bin Laden is an educated man. He knows the quran is not the word of god. He has people working for him who dont value their lives like he does.

no its not true.suicide and murdering of innocent lives in Islam is forbidden and gives you a first class ticket to hell.
its funny how people like osama bin laden call on others to commit suicide bombings but they never volunteer themselves.

That is a very good question. I would say they're crowds and they rather send somebody else to do their dirty work. That just shows you how misguided these people really are!

The Prophet (peace be upon him) never taught that and Muslim scholars unanimously condemn such transgression; so NO.
