To Mo - A smile with a price?

Nice Paradise you describe - I'd rather be there too, than to sit on cloud seven and play the harp for eternity.

On a serious note though, I feel, that the burning questions so many here seem to have is buried right here in this humorous exchange.

What is it, you Muslims must do, in order to get there?
What are you willing to do here on earth to obtain it?

Do you think that suicide bombings in the name of Allah and during a djihaad, which can be evidently called by even minor scholars, hence martyrdom, when killed, is really a fast track to your paradise?

Let us take those muslims who blew up the twin towers, killing also Muslims in the process. Do they sit now up there next to Allah?

I can tell you that, according to the Judeo/Christian theology, Timothy Mcveigh ( Oklahoma City Bombing)
most definitely has his PO Box in Hell now and that for all eternity.

So - and I mean this very seriously - do Muslims condemn their own Mcveighs to the same extent?
What is the price for paradise the average Muslim is willing to pay?

I'd appreciate a straight forward, introspectivce, non-propagandist answer for a change.
