Iran - Jihad, Martyrdom And The Bloodthirsty

The more conventional and/or nuclear weapons are united with the glorification of jihad, war, and martyrdom, the more there is harm to civilian populations.

Iran and all of its proxy armies, including Hezbollah, are not the face of resistance. They are the face of the continuation of war, violence, and stupid notions of jihad and martyrdom from the 7th century that are suicidal in the present age. 

The arguments against the west, U.S., Israel and others, when used to justify jihad and martyrdom, emboldens the killers. 

The world needs peace makers. Not more of the same.

Iran vows vengeance for the death of its famous general. The general lived a life steeped in killing. Many Americans, Iraqis, Iranians and others were killed, or are permanently scarred, wounded and disabled because of this general. He gloried in jihad and death.

 Whether the Americans should have killed him or not is a different matter. What is clear is that more innocent people will die from the death of this jihadist that spent a lifetime steeped in killing. He lived by the sword and died by the sword. Maybe it would have been better if he had to face old age like most of the rest of us, with all the diseases, frailties, ailments and pains that entails.

Allah, God, a higher power above, does not welcome the bloodthirsty.
