Let me think about this....OK, I thought about it.
I'll side with the folks who pick life over death, not the ones who 'love death.'
And that's what I see in the vid.
(You couldn't sit still during that vid: admit it.)
Leading Muslim clerics often refer to the love of death. Chief Palestinian Authority cleric Mufti Sheikh Ikrimeh Sabri stated, "We tell them, in as much as you love life,
the Muslim loves death and martyrdom. There is a great difference between he who loves the hereafter and he who loves this world.
The Muslim loves death and [strives for] martyrdom." Saudi Sheikh Abd Al-Muhsin Al-Qassem in Al-Madina added: "The Jews preached permissiveness and corruption, as they hid behind
false slogans like freedom and equality, humanism and brotherhood... They are cowards in battle... they flee from death and fear fighting...
They love life."
Former head of the Al-Azhar Fatwa Committee Sheikh Atiyyah Saqr was asked the following question in an online chat room on March 22, 2004: "What, according to the Koran, are the
Jews' main characteristics and qualities?" He explained one of their worst traits: "Cowardice and
love for this worldly life are undisputable traits [of the Jews]." Hezbollah's Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah revealed in an interview after the recent prisoner swap between Israel and his group: "We have discovered how to hit the Jews where they are the most vulnerable.
The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win,
because they love life and we love death." Steven Stalinsky on the Muslim Culture of Death on National Review Online

I'm sick of pathology being defined as theology.
