From the heart of Jerusalem: Two chilling words

Two words; two chilling words, that have haunted a generation of Israelis, Jews, and innocents around the world, were heard yet again, piercing the peaceful quiet of the Negev desert this past week, as all too suddenly, a quiet peaceful afternoon suddenly filled with the screams of the dying and the wounded as Arab Hamas-sponsored terrorists once again targeted the innocent in a horrific series of attacks.
Ten years ago on the twentieth of Av, the two words the suicide bomber shouted as he detonated his deadly bomb belt in the Jerusalem S’barro’s Pizzeria I happened to be sitting in were :
“Allahhu’ Akbar” “G-d is Great”.
For a long time after that attack, and ever since, these two words captured my imagination.
Think about it: here is a person, who believes he is making the ultimate sacrifice for G-d, and interestingly enough Jewish tradition is clearly of the opinion that Muslims and Jews share the same, one G-d. So the G-d he is speaking to, or at least thinks he is speaking to, is the same G-d we speak to. And in his mind, he believes deeply in G-d and is committing the ultimate act of faith and self-sacrifice in the name of… G-d. And he is living the ideal that no less than a hundred million Muslims agree with, and perhaps even aspire to.
So how do you argue with that? After all, faith is a pretty subjective thing; hundreds of millions of people have been murdered and even butchered in the name of that same G-d, and if that’s where faith leads you, maybe we’d be better off without G-d and all of his fanatical followers?
