@RealLA969 What I don't get is, if you REALLY believe in God and that you're going somewhere else when you die, what does it matter if 'your people' get killed? Why do Muslims, Jews and Christians mourn their dead and want to take revenge for deaths? Why not be happy that someone you love has gone to God and let Him take the ultimate revenge? Could it be because.... we all know deep down that we all end up as nothing more than WORM FOOD!!!???

The world is comprised of the exploiters and the exploited. That's it! The world would change dramatically for the better if there were a way to weed out the sadists. Especially when they have wealth and power because the havoc powerful sadists reek is exponentially worse.

509 (1353). Abu Hurairah (mabpwh) reported: The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, "The martyrs are of five kinds: One who dies of plague; One who dies of disease in his stomach; the drowned; one who dies under the debris (of construction, etc.), and one who dies while fighting in the way of Allah."
