I think its very easy to become what you hate in your enemy. As Gandhi said, be the change you want to see in the world.
wtf does that have to do with my question (or observation)???

When Baer asks its leader if his members expected to gain entry into Paradise after blowing themselves up, he shrugs his shoulders and says that their Paradise would be on Earth, a liberated Lebanon.
You must have missed the bombings in India. Its a small country with call centers.
LTTE al Qaeda

That doesn't imply secularism, only cynicism. The kids doing it are still doing it for God.
So al Qaeda only uses suicide attacks in India. Is it to destroy these aforementioned call centres?
It is forbidden. Killing civilians, old people, sick people, noncombatants is also haram.
It is a statement that you do not have faith anymore.
The confusion on what is suicide and who may be targeted in war
A small minority of Muslims (who are not in the category of those who have nullified their Islam*) misunderstand the word shaheed (martyr) when it comes to war and the act of suicide.
Then why is this articl adressed about this problem in Islam, and adressed to those of Islam who have done or contiplate these action?
Yes, suicide bombers are a small minority, but even the author of the article is aware that it is done for the offer of religious reward in Paradise.
He also seems to be very aware of the penchant for Islamic Fundamentalist to kill the innocent, with out cause, according to him, there is never cause to kill the innocent.
Abu Huraira, seems to be very aware of this, as he is the author of the article, and seems to be very concerned about this as a growing trend in Islam today.
It is forbidden. Killing civilians, old people, sick people, noncombatants is also haram.

one rule says "you can't kill sick [etc.] people"
another rule says "you have to sacrifice your life for G-d on the path to righteousness"
another rule says "you have to fight evil"
so the rules are manipulated to serve whatever the jihadi wants them to mean. i.e., you "fight evil" by "sacrificing your life for G-d" by killing sick people who happen to be evil
and now the jihadi has an excuse and a religious authorization to kill sick people, contradictory to the 1st rule, but kosher when you read all the rules together.
see, SAM? it's called a nuance.
actually, that's a lack of nuance. that's also your own words. IDF knows The Nuance. very well. but for the purpose of counter-terror operations, which are about achieving immediate objectives, as opposed to posing philosophical arguments, violent marxist = violent jihadi = violent Xtian.The attempts to paint all Palestinians (including Christians and Marxists) as jihadists is also a nuance.
The concern in Muslims is more in the application of the term martyr to suicide bombers, since it is reserved for those who died defending themselves in war. All soldiers who die in war are shaheed (even in India).

No killing of inocence is justifiable in the Qu'ran, unless it is justifiable in the Bible.
But, you can make it justifiable in the Koran and Bible if you 'bend the words'. In other words, make sure the political and social environment is just right, along with strong propaganda, and you can get it done, as much with the Bible as with Koran.
Yes and no: there's no "turn the other cheek" in the Quran.
What do you mean?
Get the right blend of politics, sociality, etc, and any Abrahamic Holy Book can justify any action.
