As luck would have it, I myself am named after a suicide bomber, so of course the topic is of particular interest to me.

My personal position is, get paid in front.

Do you know if the Kamikaze

This brings up a difficult theological dilemma. Do they get their 72 virgins in heaven? I mean their hearts were in the right place. They were planning to kill themselves while murdering as many innocent children, women, and men as possible. Just like god wants them to, and if they had, god would have rewarded them with 72 virgins. But they didn't actually murder any innocent people.

Is it the thought that counts? Or do you have to actually rack up the numbers to get the virgins?

Hollywood wouldn't buy this story as a script, too ridiculous.

You just know Mel Brooks is working on this right now, don't you?

...The instructor, Ho ma'ir abu-B'art was heard to express his final words when realization of what he had done overcame him. Rather that the customary "God is great!" exclamation, puzzled observers have quoted what they believe to have been a coded message to his surviving students..

Be they Islamic (or Christian) fundamentalists, or Republicans:

The power of genuine zealotry is not measured by transient success in the earthly universe, but by conviction of the liberating truth of unbending ideology, even when confronted with utter catastrophe.

Meanwhile, Zawahiri et. al. seem quite pleased with a "heroic knight" who chose the Al Nusrah Front over ISIS:

Al Nusrah Front praises Chechen commander killed in Aleppo
By Bill Roggio, The Long War Journal, February 10, 2014

The Al Nusrah Front for the People of the Levant, al Qaeda's official branch in Syria, praised a Chechen jihadist commander who was killed during recent fighting to take control of a prison in Aleppo. The Chechen, known as Saifullah al Shishani, had defected from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham last fall and joined the Al Nusrah Front.

Muhammad al Julani, the emir of the Al Nusrah Front who has sworn allegiance to al Qaeda leader Ayman al Zawahiri, praised Saifullah as a "heroic knight," in a statement that was released on Al Nusrah's Twitter account. The statement was obtained and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group.

BTW Zawahiri disowned them like a week or two ago. Coincidence? Or intimate knowledge of chaotic incompetence?
