Oppenheimer And A Moral Dilemma
As per Islam, no intentional action can be taken against the non-combatant population, even during a war. Therefore, the whole concept of weapons of Mass Destruction in its essence is unethical and unislamic to begin with. Killing of one innocent human being without any ethical reason is killing of the whole humanity as per Quran. The action of intentionally killing thousands of innocent people who were non-combatants on the basis of a theory that it might save many more lives in the future has no ethical basis and is also against the Islamic principles of Jihad.
