I hope so. However, I do not think to know what'll they get in Heaven would make people better Muslims. Those terrorists (and suicide bombers) probably do not run for virgin Heaven girls. Its more social and complicated, dont you think? Instead, someone should teach them that terrorism has no place in Islam, also killing women and children, and even non-combatant men is an eternal sin. There'd be no Heaven for them, and it is not the 'will of God'.

Also, those poor guys are being used by so-called religious leaders. Not for Allah but for their own passion, will and politics.

Dirty business.

Totally agree to it.

It's quite interesting for me to study the Heaven described in Islam, since it's perfectly the opposite what most of the Japanese imagine about the Heaven.

I don't think these are enough, but I also don't know much about them. However, Japanese people's notion about the Heaven and the Hell (if there are), it is said to be based on Buddhism and Shintoism. So...have a look over them, if you are soooo free that you don't have nothing to do.
