Martyrdom
From Religions Wiki
In Christianity[edit]
In Islam[edit]
Muslim acceptance[edit]
"The response of the Muslim world to the events of September 11, 2001, leaves no doubt that a significant number of human beings in the twenty-first century believe in the possibility of martyrdom. [...] Rather than spending centuries moldering in the earth in anticipation of being resurrected and subsequently interrogated by wrathful angels the martyr is immediately transported to Allah's Garden, where a flock of "dark-eyed" virgins awaits him."
