The martyr concept doesn't hold true for all Muslims - I have a few Muslim friends in the DC area that are "as normal as Christian folks". There is a Shiite Muslim sect, much like the Branch Davidians, that condones violence as a means of further propogating the word of God (or in their case, Allah). The more level-headed Muslims don't resort to acts of terrorism to spread their faith.
I can't believe that these terrorist acts all stem from the US support of Israeli positions regarding their land holdings. However, many Middle Eastern nations have sided themselves with the US which is why the US is seen as "the head of the serpent". I'll never understand religious politics, especially as they dominate the Middle East. --- Scott Schumacher <[email protected]> wrote: > Well assuming that these attacks are from some Islamic Middle > Eastern > terrorist regime (hence why the Palestinians are partying in the > streets of > Palestine), the terrorists would most likely assume to be dead and > then be > considered martyr's.
