True Believers

“It’s a lot easier to convince people to die for your cause if you first make them eager to die…It’s a lot easier to get boys to bare their breast to arrows and swords if they have faith that doing so is a selfless act that will make the Creator smile and welcome them into the eternal glory in the afterworld”

"Once the order teaches people to be true believes, what they have really done is to forge monster who will not only die for the cause, but kill for it as well…These are killers who will only too happily kill for the cause, absolutely secure in the knowledge they are doing the right and the moral thing”

The above quote is taking from Terry Goodkind’s newest novel Phantom. Of course this can be rewritten to read:

It’s a lot easier to convince people to blow themselves up for your cause if you first make them eager to die…It’s easier to get boys to bare their breast to bullets and bombs if they have faith that doing so is a selfless act that will make Allah smile and welcome them into the internal glory of Paradise were they can rape 72 virgins to their hearts content.

Once the mullahs and other religious leaders convince its people to be true believers, what they have done is forge a monster who will not only willingly blow themselves up for the cause, but do so willingly to take out as many Jews and infidels as possible. Knowing as they die that they Allah will reward them greatly for taking out as many infidels as possible because it was the just and right thing to do.

I will have more quotes to come.
