The Islamic teachings were turned around or taken out of context so that they could be used for political gain and to incite violent behavior. Suicide and killing innocent people is strictly forbidden in Islam. Isn't there some code of conduct about officers lying? If he really believes this, he is mentally unfit for command. The Koran promotes killing infidels.

EGYPT: FOREIGN MINISTER URGES GLOBAL CHARTER AGAINST RELIGIOUS SLURS (Islam Wants to Outlaw Truth) adnkronosinternational ^ \| 16 May 2007 \| AKI adnki.com Cairo, 16 May (AKI) - Egypt has called on the international community and the United Nations to work for a document which condems the crimes of offending and defaming religions. The request was made by Egypt's foreign minsiter Ahmed Aboul Gheit, during the meeting of the foreign ministers of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference being held in Islamabad. "The document should be adopted unanimously by the countries of the international community, with the aim of preventing violence and discrimination and preserving stability and peace," he explained. Aboul Gheit added that "religions have too often been victims in recent times of attacks under the guise of freedom of expression" and that particularly the Muslim faithful must deal with increasing 'islamophobia'. He recalled that "Egypt has been committed for years to promoting dialogue between relgiions as otulined in the Charter of Human Rights." There have been flare ups of sectarian violence in recent says in Egypt between the majority Muslim community and the Coptic Christians. The town of Bham about 20 kilometres south of the capital Cairo has seen 59 arrested after clashes that broke out in a row over the extension of a local Copt church there. The Coptic community in Egypt is estimated to represent some 10 percent of the population which is majority Sunni and it contests the requirement that it seek authorisation for building churches when the same is not required for mosques.
