I always wonder if Imams and Mullahs really believe the Islam religion. You always hear about these guys screaming Jihad’s against anything that resembles the West Civilization but you never ever hear about these guys willing to die for the Islamic religion. It is always the disciple of the Imam or Mullah who has to take one for the Islam team.
What exist in the Islamic 7th century civilization worldview that keeps the Imam or Mullah for not personally fighting and possibly dying for the Islamic cause?
There is no television
No baseball
You can't shave.
Your wives can't shave.
You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.
The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times.
Your bride is picked out someone else.
The wife smells just like your donkey.
Under those conditions, the virgins in the Islamic heaven really sounds like a better place to be.
Two examples:
1) When American military forces raid the Shiite district of Sadr City, the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr leaves the city and hides in another country Iran. He only returns to speak words of venom and incites trouble when the American threat is gone.
2) Why isn’t Osama bin Laden showing his public defiance to the Western World after the 11 September attacks? I guess he is happy living in caves like a rodent.
Now that is true bravery.
If in fact Allah really did create the earth and the heavens, why would he want his own chosen people to turn this world into a barren rock for a planet? That is not being a good steward of the universe that Allah created for mankind. I still stand by my words: Islam, Cult Of Death And Cowardice. If it were a true religion then leaders of the Islamic faith would also be willing to die for the religious cause.
