The Hadith calls Jihad,"the best method of earning both spiritual and temporal. If victory is won, there is enormous booty of a country, which cannot be equalled to any other source of income. If there is defeat or death, there is everlasting paradise."

In the Quran and Islamic tradition, Mohammed says: "He who dies without having fought, or having felt it his duty, will die guilty of a kind of hyprocrisy. ...There is no emigration after the Conquest, but only Jihad...so when you are summoned to fight, go forth. ...The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews and the Muslims kill them"

According to the Hadith Section IV on Apostasy, the repeated claim that no one ever leaves Islam. Then it says: "The Prophet said, "If somebody (a Muslim) discard his religion (of Islam), kill him." (vol. 4, no. 260) Then it records those who have been murdered for leaving (vol. 5 no. 630)

As for women, Mohammed says, "The Prophet said, "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its dwellers were women." (vol. 1 no 28, 301; vol. 2 no. 161)

The reason why..."O women! I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you." (vol. 2, no. 541)
