    "Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah ? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph. "
    Being slain in battle is not the same as suicide. I'm not interested in a theological debate. That verse is stupid, hell, if you ask me, the entire Qur'an is basically pretty stupid, but I'm not interested in debating the origins of the Qur'an or where what verse came from, what it means and how it should be interpreted. That's something for the theologians. And if you ask me, I think it's better if the whole Sunni world would get back the old Mu'tazilite position that the Qur'an is not "the final and unalterable word of god".

    EDIT: What irks me about your post is the fact that you said that "according to Islam" the only way for Muslims to get into heaven is through slaying and being slain. And that's...not really true.
