From https://thequran.wordpress.com/2006/10/03/the-pentagon-looks-at-the-koran-daniel-pipes/
Daniel Pipes writes in his weblog:
A recent Pentagon briefing paper titled, "Motivations of Muslim Suicide Bombers," points to the Koran as the source of the motivation of Islamist bombers, according to an article today in WorldNetDaily.com.
For how long did the Pentagon stare at Al Quran? Let's see.
This runs quite contrary to the usual U.S. government approach, which insists on seeing suicide terrorists as heretics who follow a perverted form of Islam. A White House report released just this month, for example, the National Strategy for Combating Terrorism," asserts that "The terrorists distort the idea of jihad into a call for violence and murder against those they regard as apostates or unbelievers."
That's right. There isn't a single verse in Al Quran where the word 'Jihad' is used as 'a call for violence and murder against apostates and unbelievers'.
The Pentagon study suggests that intelligence analysts think otherwise, concluding not just that Muslim suicide bombers are usually students of the Koran motivated by its commands, but that they acting, by their lights, rationally.
Let's see how rational this thought by the intelligent intelligence analysts is:
Here is a key passage from the WorldNetDaily.com account:
In Islam, it is not how one lives one's life that guarantees spiritual salvation, but how one dies, according to the briefings.
Since the paper points to the Koran as the source of the motivation of Islamist bombers , they should at least quote any such verses, because I also happen to be a student of Al Quran and I haven't come across such verses yet!
There are great advantages to becoming a martyr. Dying while fighting the infidels in the cause of Allah reserves a special place and honor in Paradise.
And what is wrong in fighting in the cause of Allah? What does Al Quran say about fighting in the cause of Allah?
Chapter 4/75: And why should you not fight in the way of God, while the defenseless among the men, women and children say "Our Lord, deliver us from this town. Its people are oppressive. And make for us from your presence a guardian, and make for us from your presence a helper."
Chapter 2/190: And fight in the way of God against those who fight you, and do not aggress. Surely God does not love the aggressors.
Is it wrong to fight to defend the oppressed men, women and children? Is wrong to fight those who fight you. Find anything wrong in these verses? I think not.
"Suicide in defense of Islam is permitted, and the Islamic suicide bomber is, in the main, a rational actor," concludes a recent Pentagon briefing paper titled, "Motivations of Muslim Suicide Bombers."
Quote from Al Quran, you liars, quote if you can!
The briefing – produced by a little-known Pentagon intelligence unit called the Counterintelligence Field Activity, or CIFA – cites a number of passages from the Quran dealing with jihad, or "holy" warfare, martyrdom and Paradise, where "beautiful mansions" and "maidens" await martyr heroes.
I am itching to see those passages…

Daniel Pipes is a lying enemy of Islam, yet our tax dollars paid his salary for two years.
I think we should sue for it back.

{Invite (mankind, O Muhammad ) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islam) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'an) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125)
{And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33)
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim]
The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Muslim, Ahmad, Aboo Daawood, an-Nasaa'ee, at-Tirmidhee, Ibn Maajah]
