They're in this game for heaven and 70 virgins and we've got nothing on offer to top it. Religion gone bad is dangerous in that the ties that bind one to a belief defy logic.
What 99.9% of people including very exterme muslims do not know is that it is not 70 virgins but 70 jail bubbas. And I don't think they are gonna like that once they given their lives for martyrdom.
