Last week, the newspapers were filled with daily reports of suicide bombings by Islamic terrorists in Pakistan, Iraq and Afghanistan. Among the more severe attacks were:
02 Nov - Pakistan - Twin suicide attacks resulting in 25 people injured in Lahore, 36 killed in Rawalpindi
28 Oct - Pakistan - 117 people killed, mostly women and children, at a market
25 Oct - Baghdad - 160 people killed, including 30 children in a day care centre
Of course, one is curious why the Muslim terrorists are also targeting innocent Muslims. Well, according to some Egyptian Muslim clerics in TV programs broadcast in Egypt earlier this year, it is good for a Muslim to die as a martyr, even if innocents are killed.
First, dying as a martyr, according to the Koran, guarantees that one will go to Paradise (despite how sinfully the person may have led his life before then). Besides, true Muslims do not fear death. They only fear being burnt in Hellfire for Eternity.
And so what if innocent boys are among the victims who are blown up? Innocent boys will be sent to Paradise immediately. So it is good for more innocent boys to be sent to Paradise to be with Allah. (As girls are not specifically mentioned, I guess girls who are blown up might not be going to Paradise.)
Also, the blood of the Muslims that are killed have the power to "clean and purify" the area of its sins. So the more blood that is spilled, the "cleaner" the place will be. One of the clerics even says he monitors the number of people sent to Paradise this way, and revels with happiness when he sees high numbers.
And there is this perennial fixation with the 72 virgins to satisfy the sexual hunger of the Muslim martyr. And we are not talking about any normal run-of-the-mill virgin, but "black-eyed virgins", man! These "black-eyed virgins" will embrace the suicide bomber and utter words like "I have never seen anyone as perfect and handsome as you" to him. Everything in this Islamic Paradise seems to be designed for men and men only. No wonder women are treated like chattel and 2nd class people in fundamentalist Islamic countries.
And yes, children must be educated to HATE anyone who is not a Muslim. "The Koran tells us to hate them, not to love them." "We must teach our children that death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty goal."

A most interesting video.
P.S.
Obviously, any rational person would immediately asked the imam, "Well, if becoming a martyr can give you such rewards as a place in Paradise and black-eyed virgins, why aren't you yourself taking up Allah's glorious offer?"
But then these imams would offer the lame excuse: "The glory is not for me, but for you, brother!"
And of course, only suckers will accept it.
