text: Absolutely not.  What the Qu'ran teaches is that a martyr will be rewarded in the afterlife.  Unfortunately, many radical fundamentalists have distorted the idea of what a "martyr" truly is.  It is a term used for someone who is persecuted and murdered for refusing to renounce their faith, not someone who decides to take themselves out along with a crowded street full of infidels.  Sadly, you'll find these people in any religion, including Christianity (Rev. Phelps, I am looking in your general direction), and yes, they are just as dangerous and morally misguided.  Hope that helps.
