-coined by Professor Raphael Israeli in 1997.
-suicide bombers in the name of Allah.
-
suicide goes against basic Islamic principles, based on the earlier writings of Muhammed; yet more modern fundamentalist Muslims (Wahhabis, etc...) would describe suicide bombing as martyrdom, thus granting said bomber 72 virgins in paradise.
-it is unclear whether this is one 72 year old virgin, or 72 one year old virgins.
- in Islam, those who commit
suicide are condemned to repeat the actions of their
suicide for all eternity in hell. Islamikazes take a
big gamble, paradise or exploding for the rest of forever, but hey, it happens.
