3) If he were to be miraculously healed, he would probably (again, by definition) give the credit to Allah.

again i digress. you imply things and when i ask you to provide me with something you give short veiled responses without providing that information. im by no means irritated. i'm trying to engage in a discussion where you keep moving the goal posts.
for the record the article is quoting his brother Mohammed Ali and not Abdelbaset himself.
1) agreed.
2) agreed, by definition any and every action is by Allahs' decree. but you failed to tell me the intention he had in which he did the bombings. your first post refers to him as a good and faithful servant. if you know anything about the concept of Decree and Predetermination under islamic law, which are vast subjects in islamic theology, you will know that though someone might do an action, though it's gods Will, it doesnt mean that god neccesarily condones it, nor does it mean that the person will get blessings for it, even if it is in His name (like this bombing for example). Murder is considered one of the biggest sins in Islam. Under the classical definition, to murder one person is to have murdered all of humanity, and you will be held accountable for it.
so yes, he will be held accountable for killing 270 people. so much for
3) if he was healed he'd give credit to Allah the same way that he should give credit to Allah because he's got cancer. doesnt make him the faithful servant that you want him to be.
Again i ask that you prove that his intentions for the bombing was based on a religious justification.
on a side note, this is getting off topic,I'm happy to carry this on in another thread in Philosphy or Politics.
