And besides most of those men who are ready to lay down their lives are not doing it for money or women. Believe me Sir I know this as I know many young people who went to Kashmir and Afghanistan and belonged to some very well off families and they left very nice careers behind. Yes they are brainwashed by the clerics that is true, but this inmates going to Kashmir is just absurd.
Islamic terrorism is the scourge of the century and the most shameful part is that the highly educated both taking part and supporting such acts. The below list shows how religion is being misused to brainwash the people to commit these type of heinous acts.
I heard people say "All Muslims are not Terrorists but All Terrorists are Muslims".
Rather than addressing the problem, we have people cheerleading such acts which is the most unfortunate part. If this trend continues, it won't be far too long before this menace consumes the whole religion.
