Produktbeschreibung

How beautiful for the splinters of my bones to be the response that blows the enemy up, not for the love of killing, but so we can live as other. We do not sing the songs of death, but recite the hymns of life. We die so that future generations may live . The suicide martyr (Istishhady) Mohammed Al-Ghoul, Jerusalem operation, 18 June 2002. Self sacrifice is not a new term in the history of humanity; it received a large scale attention from thinkers and scholars in the field of human, social and psychological sciences. This self sacrifice was expressed by causes and motives which were connected with intellectuals and interpretations of scientists who attempted to present explanations to this perplexing phenomenon; however, it was connected with certain elements linked with limited aspects mainly: biological, environmental, psychological and religious. Istishhad Martyrdom is a Palestinian term introduced into the political dictionary to describe the case of self sacrifice for the sake of others in their struggle with the occupier.
