Fidayeen attack

Fidayeen attack

A fidayeen attack is a suicide tactic used by militants. Such attacks are especially common in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. In a "fidayeen", an extremist equips himself (most "fidayeens" are men) with weapons and a sizeable amount of ammunition. He then proceeds to gain entrance into a military base, checkpoint or other military installation and proceeds to open fire on law-enforcement personnel. He continues his attack until he runs out of ammunition, at which point he is gunned down by security forces. "Fidayeen" militants sometimes do attempt to escape but are almost always shot by anti-terrorist squads shortly afterward because the militants rarely have a "getaway" plan chalked out. These militants, like suicide bombers are prepared to die during the execution of the attack.

A Fidayeen attack is not a suicide attack. It is a different kind of Jihadi attack usually carried out by Lashkar-e-Toiba in Jammu and Kashmir. In this attack a Fidayee or Mujahid heavily armed enters into a military camp or convoy and start firing bullets and throwing grenades and fights till death. A fidayee does not blow himself up with explosives and if he gets a chance after fulfilling the mission he may try to escape.

Islam is a religion of peace, it does not teach to blow yourself with a bomb, if this was the case then there wont be any Muslims alive. These organisations (Fidayeen, Al Qaeda etc etc) are Non-Islamic and have no right to claim themselves as Muslims or add Islam with their names. Terrorism is not related to Islam by any means. Why is every sucide bomber a Muslim? Why not blame USA for attacking Iraq and Afghanistan and all the blood shed? All the people that died there, were they not human beings like us? Who is the terrorist to be blamed? Our hearts are turned stones, we dont want our eyes to see injustice with our brothers and sisters.
