Suicide under any pretext is not condoned as jihad in islam. Converting people to islam by force or Coercion is never Jihad but a crime , punishable by law.

Clearly, our civilization operates with a different set of standards and values regarding respect for human life. The terrible truth is that our higher sensibilities are also our greatest weakness in this war we have been thrust into.
