Surely someone else has commented on this.
Qur'an, sura 9, verse 111:
Allah has purchased from the faithful their lives and worldly goods and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for the cause of Allah, slay and be slain.
This is one of the Qur'anic verses most often cited as inducement and inspiration for jihad.
9 11 1 ? Shouldn't we be paying more attention to this sort of thing? But when I went to search for discussion of this on the web, I found nothing.
