Moslems proclaim when a person carries out a heroic act of 'estishad', he is welcomed by God, according to religious law , "One who blows himself up among enemies, in order to defend his land, is considered a martyr." Christianity (Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, etc.) tell us to kill people for working on the wrong day (Exodus 31:15), or saying the wrong words (Leviticus 24:17) or because they are homosexual (Leviticus 20:13), Hindu's, Gandhiji, the greatest apostle of Ahimsa in the modern days, advised the fleeing Malabar Hindus before the rioting Moplas in 1923 to cultivate the art of killing and being killed. He averred that it did not constitute violence. Even the Upanishads declare that there is no salvation for the weak!
