Alan M. Dershowitz writes in the Wall Street Journal (3.3.2008):
. . . Ms. Maladan was quoted in the New York Times giving the following warning to her son: “if you’re not going to follow the steps of the Islamic resistance martyrs, then I don’t want you . . .”
Now there is a new image of mothers urging their children to die, and then celebrating the martyrdom of their suicidal sons and daughters by distributing sweets and singing wedding songs . . . they have been taught to love death rather than life. Look at what is being preached by some influential Islamic leader . . .
How should Western democracies fight against an enemy whose leaders preach a preference for death? . . .
