And this action (i.e. suicide bombing) will provoke malice and bitterness in his heart to such an extent that he (i.e. the Non- Muslim) may seek to wreak havoc upon the Muslims. This is what is found from the practice of the Jews with the people of Palestine so when one of the Palestinian blows himself up and kills six or seven people, then in retaliation they take sixty or more. So this does not produce any benefit for the Muslims, and does not benefit those amongst whose ranks explosives are detonated. [Translation from salafipublications.com]
