Contagious

Submitted by Stas (Ukraine), Jun 23, 2012 at 00:34

Jihad is a contagious disease whereby many thousands of people are exposed to an ideology and then believe that they need to kill others in the name of Allah in order to get a free pass into heaven and have many virgins. This life means nothing, it is all about getting to heaven, so whatever it takes. Those less afflicted simply support the hard core ones rather than do the killing themselves.
