Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

As noted, the martyr mentality is so extremely embedded in the mindset of Islamic

fundamentalists that his/her main goal in life is to do what the Qur'an commands without
question. Better explained, it is what the Islamic clerics command and preach through
intense indoctrination. Muslim children in the Middle East, some as young as six years of
age, are now being encouraged and commanded to participate in jihad against non-

Muslims in one form or another with the greater honor being that of becoming a martyr.

How ironic that such religious leaders are not willing to lead by example

In the final analysis, Islam takes on the same approach that many other religions do by

using promised rewards for those who remain faithful and punishments and damnation
for those who stray. Such religious control is proof enough that many really want to have
eternal life in paradise and are willing to give their lives for what they believe to be true
through the religious indoctrination that they have been instilled with.

As an example, a religious ruling recently published on an Islamic website grants the
permissibility of martyrdom; it states, in part: "...seeking to be killed and pursuing
martyrdom are legitimate and praiseworthy acts."

The ruling continues by differentiating suicide from martyrdom in an apparent effort to

encourage Muslims to become martyrs for their religion: "The name 'suicide-operations'
used by some is inaccurate, and in fact this name was chosen by the Jews to discourage
people from such endeavors. How great is the difference between one who commits
suicide - because of his unhappiness, lack of patience and weakness or absence of iman

(faith and trust in Allah) and has been threatened with Hell-Fire - and between the self-
sacrificer who embarks on the operation out of strength of faith and conviction, and to
bring victory to Islam, by sacrificing his life for the upliftment of Allah's word!"

It is quite evident that such rulings used in the indoctrination of young impressionable

Muslims will continue to encourage the martyr mindset, thus, perpetuating suicide-
bombings and terror strikes throughout the world
