A very good analyze of Islam from a friend: Please study the history of the Muslim religion and understand that MOST Muslims have NO HOPE of ever going to Heaven! That religion focuses upon our SIN to the point of Breaking the Will of most folks!

Most Muslims feel Hopeless and Helpless!

However, the teachings mention "Jihad" as the ONE small way out! There is Personal Jihad, which almost all feel is impossible to achieve to a level that will guarantee Heaven. AND there is Social Jihad which allows a person (read "Man") to go to Heaven IF they DIE while involved in the external Battle.

Not only that, they get a REWARD!

Please note when you actually DO study, that quite a large number of "Jihad Terrorists" are quiet, intelligent, well studied men who are VERY serious about "Righteousness"!! They find that the more they desire Righteousness, the less they can obtain it!
