Haven't you seen how glad some people get when people are martyred? They celebrate. I've seen tweets saying their friend/family/etc is now a bird of paradise when they were martyred.The best is that when a family member goes the shahid route he gets to take 70 of his family members with him to paradise.
I mean, the martyr is a pretty central part of Christianity and Islam. Look at Jesus, for example.
"Dawud :: Book 14 : Hadith 2516
Narrated AbudDarda':
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The intercession of a martyr will be accepted for seventy members of his family."

That's why so many families urge their children to be suicide bombers. They are looking for an easy way to get into paradise.
