Hamas on Martyrdom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgzB5n3Cuv0
This is an amazing video on the tactics of the Hamas radical group. It is really worth watching because of the sick and crazy things that they say. Children are taught at young ages that Jihad and the blood of martyrs is the way to win their Jihad on Israel. The video goes on to show a speech of the Hamas leader, who says that whoever fights them is ready to die. The people of Hamas are ready to die because they believve that life after death, with Allah, is better than life itself. An interesting question to raise is: In history, howcome whenever a radical action such terrorism took place in the middle east, the person/group who committed acts of terrorism or murder always hides behind the Koran...? Where is the fine line between right and wrong? To generally answer these questions, I would say that strapping a belt of explosives on your chest and blowing yourself up in a crowded area just is not right. Jihad and martydom may have been acceptable thousands of years ago when the Koran was written, but clearly killing innnocent people to regain your homeland just seems slightly harsh. -MAD
