Ever wondered how a suicide bomber gets lured to perform his horrific acts?, If you haven't,I sure have!,
Just got to know that one of the many popular preachings these Terrorist recruiters use is the “God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give you 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness.” Ridiculous right?
I have spoken to a number of muslim persons that I would consider well versed in the Islam Religion and I would say based on the various arguments I've had with them and articles I've seen with respect to their senseless killings, there is no part of the Quran which says earthly pleasures such as '70 virgins' or the whole brouhaha would be given in Paradise after commiting mass murder..
Hell! there even is a part of the Quran which condemns suicide and murder of the innocent,..it quotes...
. “O ye who believe!… [do not] kill yourselves, for truly Allah has been to you Most Merciful. If any do that in rancour and injustice, soon shall We cast him into the Fire…” (Qur’an 4:29-30). Then the Prophet says “Indeed, whoever (intentionally) kills himself, then certainly he will be punished in the Fire of Hell, wherein he shall dwell forever”, [Bukhari (5778) and Muslim (109 and 110)].
I guess these so called suicide bombers did not see that part of the Qur'an too..
Another topic commonly raised is the concept of JIHAD, Jihad, which literally means ‘struggle,’ has an internal, societal and combative dimension. The internal dimension of Jihad encompasses the struggle against the evil inclinations of the self, and the spiritual project to adorn the self with virtues such as justice, mercy, generosity and gentleness.
Secondly, the societal dimension includes struggling against social injustice and creating a communal identity based on charity, respect and equality; while the third aspect of jihad is only to be used as self-defense against aggression or to fight oppression, and, even at that, it is strictly within the limit of good conduct, justice and preservation of life of the innocents and the sanctity of the environment. For those who don’t know, this latter type of Jihad can only be declared by a legitimate, recognized religious authority, not any group of people or someone with no absolute knowledge of the Holy book! Just waltzing up to podium and like 'hey people it's Jihad time'.
I doubt these Terrorists at large can read, but for God's sake let the muslim leaders everywhere at least put in more effort and reduce this heightened ignorance!
In my solid opinion, Terrorists are just plain ignoramuses! Learn oh ye!
