Many religions are death cults.

Billions spend their entire lives thinking about and preparing for an afterlife which, likely, does not exist.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

It's always a good idea to go over definitions:
What's a death cult?

Do you mean a religion/cult that encourages members to go to battle when some leader decides to go to battle, because a neighboring country has resources, is not part of the islamic faith, or maybe they want to settle a justice related issue outside of the courthouse?
And at the same time, the religion/cult tells the followers not to worry about dying bc the god will give them benefits in the afterlife (people will remember him as a martyr, which is a badge of honor)?


Quote:"What if Muslims restored this idea of ‘bearing witness’ to the word martyrdom?

Bearing witness to a word? What does that even mean?

It looks like you defined Death Cult for yourself. I don't see anybody arguing with it. If you really read that as "bearing witness to a word" than your a kind of dumb. It's always a good idea to check the source before you comment on selective quotes pulled from it. Way to post a nothing post that just waisted everybody's time reading your post and now this post.

No you don't, you don't know a single one, lol. Murricans aren't interested in martyring ourselves. Another failed tq.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It's all electrons jiggling on wires, and the occasional fiber optic connection to any "friend" or "foe", around here. What do you consider as "vanquished", and who are your "foes"?
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I wish I had me some of that mercenary money. Unfortunately, harvesting the salty tears of islamists like yourself just isn't all that lucrative.

War economy institutions and employees are destined to fail in front of an army fighting for a "cause".
Money is finite unlike "an idea"; compare early Muslims that fought for the idea of God to the "Roman soldiers" or "Persian soldiers" who were fighting for money alone.

Money is finite and institutions that promise it will stop giving it once the contract is over. That's the catch.

BTW don't think that Islamist terrorists are out of the war economy circle: they too fight for cash.
