Question Do you believe in anything strongly enough to die for it?

In the light of the news that last weeks explosions look like they were suicide bombings I’m at a loss to understand what drives someone to believe so passionately in something that they are prepared to give their own life for the cause.

So is there anything you think is worth dieing for?

Partner & children ,

let me tell you I nearly died for both once and i'd do it again

everyday I see them I think how lucky I am to have them and am so glad I acted the way I did.

With Dave on this one, although maybe not as long as 5 years ago However, I did start feeling a bit patriotic/righteous while watching Braveheart last night

I can't pick both my husband or my child (not even born yet but I would!) on this poll, (I would like to) so I will choose my children.

davyboy let me get one thing straight

100 or 72 virgins r the last thing on suicide bombers mind

its all bullsh1t it is the least thing when u get martyred and its something thats been promoted by the ENEMY OF ISLAM in the media etc coz the whiteman only thinks with his dick, so its all sex to him and 72 virgins so they promote anti islamic and orientalist crap

yes u are promised those virgins its not a reward for going to war, its something good muslims will get

and it doesnt mention in the quran about 72 virgins it says spouses never been touched before, and its not even sexual , more spiritual

and its not for suicide bombers , its for martyrs who defend their land against injustice and their people and not killing innocents intentionally, and its for any good muslim not for martyrs alone

so get your facts right

Anyone stupid enough to think they go elsewhere when they die deserves what they get.

I would die for my close family, partner, future children and close friends.

Moses i'll argue this all day with you as you know. What bothers me is that you show not one IOTA of understanding towards the Western frustration about your lifestyle. You never have, you never will.

In the light of other threads being deleted, I can't believe the racism that moses is allowed to get away with posting.

I would personally martyr you if you spoke to me like that in the street moses.

But he IS the voice for a significant minority in this country, however we wish to dress it up and pretend otherwise. Very, very sad.

Moses, the media on both sides of the argument are full of inaccuracies and propaganda. It's not just the western media that is promoting its own ideals and agendas.

Open your eyes a bit more mate.

Moses, I couldn't care whether you or anyone on this board are bright green. You have to admit - saying you would separate his head from his body is a little over the top.

I think that its mainly because British/Western culture sees that beheading someone is a medieval practice, something that belongs in the dark ages. The western world already has the idea that Islam is a religion with outdated beliefs and statements like yours just perpetuate it.

If you had just said you would beat the crap out of him, it probably wouldn't have had such a strong reaction and it wouldn't seem like "the white guys" were ganging up on you. Do you see what I am saying?

mate he said he will martyr me on the street

thats killing probably brutal and beating up with his mates and knifing me behind my back coz he wont be able to take me on God willing

i was too kind and merciful, if he even tried it, i will let him die with honour and peace and no lynching and beating up . just a quick cut he wont even feel it, its the samurai way , to die peacefully that way and feel no pain

see im a kind chap mate i wont make him suffer if he did try to kill me, a man has to defend himself wont u , i got a kid to feed
