Yep---you have to be a martyr, and that means being KILLED for Allah. The money is supposed to compensate your family for their loss of you (answering the old 'what's in it for me besides 70 virgins' question)
"A quick bible/geography lessen. They will not bomb the dome on the rock. This is very special land to the jewish faith. They will not walk on the land. That Rock is the same rock that Moses stood on and read the ten commandments. By scripture the tablets are still on this land. It is against Jewish law to walk on this land until the tablets are found. This also the spot where the third temple is to be built. Also the same rock that Allah assented to heaven. Small confused world."I'm not sure whose more confused. Moses read the Ten Commandments on Mt. Sinai, not Mt. Zion. The Jews do not walk on the land for fear of treding on the "Holy of Holies", not to avoid the tablets of the Commandments which were last seen in the Ark of the Covenent. Allah didn't ascend to Heaven - that was allegedly Mohamed .... Please stop giving us "lessens" [sic]!
