The wicked beg to return to earth to accomplish the good that they had left undone during their lives. But they cannot, for, says the Qur’an, a barrier blocks their way. Many commentators take this as a literal physical barrier between hell and paradise, or between this life and the next.

This barrier (or veil) between the souls of the departed and Paradise is called Barzakh. The souls of the righteous and unrighteous remain in Barzakh until the trumpet sounds on the Last Day.

Unless they are martyrs!!!

Martyrs do not have to wait until Judgment Day. By shedding their blood for Allah they wash away all their sins and are able to skoot past Barzakh completely and immediately enter Paradise upon their last breath.

Even without the virgins, this is a strong incentive to strap on a dynamite belt and walk into a restaurant.

I don't know how accurate it is to the Islam religion, but it is clear if a being who kills another in this wanton matter goes against the TEN Commandment.

This is doing the Devil's bidding!

This is contradiction to all of the major religion!

This is not the God of Love they worship!
