Jihad mass murderer Mohamed Merah [1] said that he "loved death more than they loved life." This is a commonplace idea among jihadists. Nigerian jihadist Abubakar Shekau [2] said: "I'm even longing for death, you vagabond." Ayman al-Zawahiri's wife [3] advised Muslim women: "I advise you to raise your children in the cult of jihad and martyrdom and to instil in them a love for religion and death." And as [4] one jihadist put it, "We love death. You love your life!" And another: "The Americans love Pepsi-Cola, we love death." -- [5] Afghan jihadist Maulana Inyadullah

Of course, this idea comes from the Qur'an itself: "Say (O Muhammad): O ye who are Jews! If ye claim that ye are favoured of Allah apart from (all) mankind, then long for death if ye are truthful." -- Qur'an 62:6

Teach your children well! "Child Preacher Ibrahim Adham Longs for Martyrdom, Fighting alongside the Palestinians," from [6] MEMRI, November 16:

Following are excerpts from a TV program featuring child preacher Ibrahim Adham, which aired on Al-Rahma TV on November 16, 2012.

Ibrahim Adham: Oh Zionists, we love death for the sake of Allah, just as much as you love life for the sake of Satan. We long for martyrdom for the sake of Allah, just as much as you hate death, oh enemies of Allah.

I am just a small child, but nevertheless, I pray that Allah will allow me to lead the prayer in the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

If it were up to me, I would come to you [Palestinians], and I would fight alongside you in the battlefield, even if I am killed a hundred – nay, a thousand – times.
