So, they believe that they if they sacrifice their life- they will go to heaven or paradise immediately? Something they will get 40 virgins or something?

I remember someone saying that these terrorist base their whole version of islam on teachings that were derived from the old testament. Kinda like if you do this to me, then I will do this to you. This same person said that we (westerners) believe in new testament teachings of forgiveness, etc. Not sure how true this is. But just what I heard. As for me, I think that the everyday person over in that part of the world does not agree with this. And as a result of these bombings, even islamic people are calling for the death of al Zarchawi. This is getting very interesting.

Who ever told you that does not have it quite right. Islam is based on the Qur'an. The Qur'an was compiled from the notes and writings of Mohammad. He died over 600 years after Jesus. There are specific scriptures in the Qur'an that tell believers it is OK to kill infidels (non believers). I know of no such passages in the Old or New Testaments. As a matter of note, the 6th commandment is

Exodus 20:13

<sup id="en-NASB-2065">13</sup>"You shall not murder.

Notice it is correctly translated murder and not kill.

Hey 2nd, do you think that these people actually think that what they are doing is actually good in the eyes of any god? It just seems so evil and callous. I can't imagine that any human would willfully go into a crowd of people and cause an explosion and feel like it was worthwhile.
