So you are saying blowing someone up is okay so long as you don't believe in martyrdom or paradise is the reward? Interesting distinction.

I said nothing of the sort.

Do you have ADD or something? You seem to be having trouble focusing.


In response to my question in which I asked do the Prot. and Cath. provide them with rewards for pursuing their conflict in N. Ireland, you responded by saying that:

"I'm sure someone else here could answer this better than me; however, I think it fair to say that neither side had convinced its young that death in a suicide would lead to martyrdom and paradise."

The implication of that statement is that it is better when some organization like the IRA bombs a place and doesn't expect the bomber to be a martyr than an organization like Hamas which bombs a place suicidally and does expect the bomber to be a martyr.

You've made that distinction repeatedly. I don't see its importance so I was asking for clarification from you. To me a bombing is a bombing is a bombing..........an evil act period.
