Inside the mind of a young terrorist
If this doesn't scare you, nothing will: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/guest_contributors/article2609641.ece. Leave aside the blather at the end of the article about how we all need to learn to love each other, how "many" Muslim clerics reject Bin Laden's ideology, blah, blah, blah. Just read the section which deals with the sending of a child on a homicide bombing mission (not that the kid is blameless here. He thought that this was a fine idea because, among other reason, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf is "a Jew").

This the worst form of child abuse. Islam, however, has a long history of that. Just look at Muhammad and Aisha.
Mohammed's unfulfilled death wish:
Mo would just love to have led his army from the front and laid down his life multiple times, but somehow soldiers kept rushing ahead and getting between him and the enemy, so he never did actually get martyred himself in person. Only the lower ranks earned that honor. What a tremendous sacrifice he made.
Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Book 52:
Fighting for the Cause of Allah (Jihaad)
Volume 4, Book 52, Number 54:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Were it not for some men amongst the believers who dislike to be left behind me and whom I cannot provide with means of conveyance, I would certainly never remain behind any Sariya' (army-unit) setting out in Allah's Cause. By Him in Whose Hands my life is! I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and then get resurrected and then get martyred, and then get resurrected again and then get martyred and then get resurrected again and then get martyred.
