Perpetual War = Ticket To Paradise

http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/009.qmt.html#009.111

Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

aint blind faith grand?

But muslims say that Jihad means 'inner struggle'. Take a look at the commands of violence from the qu'ran and hadith.


Volume 6, Book 61, Number 577:
Narrated 'Ali:
I heard the Prophet saying, "In the last days (of the world) there will appear young people with foolish thoughts and ideas. They will give good talks, but they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out of its game, their faith will not exceed their throats. So, wherever you find them, kill them, for there will be a reward for their killers on the Day of Resurrection."

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 46:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty."


There's the good ol kill and be killed for divine reward theme again. Simply declare them to be "enemies of allah" and paradise and material reward await. Juan Cole is betting that the average joe will never dig this deep into this.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Al-Qaida conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui told a roommate in Oklahoma that fighting a holy war was the only way to get to paradise, according to testimony Tuesday. and “This is the only way for me to get to paradise.” source (associated press)
