HITAN ( Democracy in Heaven )
The Koran makes it very clear that suicide is forbidden: 4:29. But it states several times that the martyr can expect an afterlife in paradise, they are "alive" (3:169), and have a blessed afterlife: 3:170-174,22:58. One man's "suicide bombers," then, are another's "martyrs."
The 9-11 hijackers considered themselves not as terrorists but freedom fighters; which would make them martyrs. There actions was against the USA for actions the USA had against ISLAM

hi, i live in new york and i experienced 9/11. Believe it or not, the terrorists believed they were doing something "worthy of their gods." They thought they would go to Heaven as heroes. Horrible isn't it? My father died that day. He was a lawer and was in the building. As a child he would take me there and say, "Look sweetie, this is the heart of NY." And I went there every year with my dad. Now he and the towers are gone. To make it even more horrible, I saw the towers fall. I was going to visit him when the towers started falling with my dad in it. I am not ashamed to tell you i still cry for all the people who died and for the towers.

of course they did, additionally they believed that they had settle for seventy two virgins in heaven for his or her sacrifice. that's called a mistranslation and the virgins are truly small white raisins. Yum, yet no longer properly worth death for. As generic the excellent evil is faith, although this might have got here approximately regardless of it. It grow to be truly approximately distant places politics.

Yes, they thought that by sacrificing their lives to kill the 'infidels' or enemies of Islam, they would therefore be assured a place in heaven because they were doing the will of Allah. It doesn't make sense, but then again, George Bush thinks that God told him to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, so they're one and the same really, although Bush wouldn't blow himself up (on purpose. By accident, you never know.)

Here's the thing. Those suicide bombers and the whole of Al-qaeda does whatever they do because they feel that they are protecting the Muslim nation from the interfering Americans.
They do whatever they do in the name of "Allah" whose they're god. They themselves believe that they are helping Muslims and standing up for their religion.
Hence, yes, they very much believed they were going to heaven.
As to whether they're right or wrong, depends on who you are and what perspective you're looking from. If you're an American supporter, you'll be thinking up all the four letter words in the world to decribe them.
If you're an avid supporter of Osama's work, then naturally you'll feel that what they're doing is right.

I guess the answer is: Yes. Just like many "pious Christians" bombed Iraq, Yugoslavia and other countries, believing they would go to "heaven" at the end.

i hope they go to hell, and i firmly beleive my religion (islam) will send them there, provided i know all the facts, you can never be too sure in the world today. nobody really knows everything, and since pretty much everything is relative, if you dont know everything you know nothing.
lol so everyone knows nothing, kinda depressing isnt it?
i understand my logic is faulted, everyone knows something, but its there to outline that we dont know everything about anything, and therefore when we base our opinions we may aswell base them on nothing, ofcourse knowing more is always better, but you'll never know everything about anything.
okay i'm repeating myself now, i hope you guys get the point lol.

it takes a lot of guts to blow yourself up
to do that they either take drugs to get high
or they have the confident to go to a better place after they died
but i think both are not their case cos their brains are so small
that resulting them not to understand the word tomorrow
