To: CHARLITE
A movement whose main weapon of choice is the martyrdom of an entire generation of its young men is not one prone to propagation.

I have a HUGE problem with the Islamic idea of "martyrdom". A TRUE Martyr dies ALONE for their faith or is murdered for their faith...they DO NOT take innocent people along with them...a TRUE martyr does NOT murder others for his faith!

That's the difference between Muslim and Christian martyrdom. A Christian martyr dies rather than betray his faith. A Muslim martyr commits suicide in order to kill other people. Muslims have a very dim view of "martyrs" who fail to kill infidels in the process. They consider them to have failed.

This is a hopeful report. But I wonder just how many Muslims are sensible? It's a dreadful religion with a degrading effect on its followers.
