"Martyrs" offers compelling and chilling interviews with terrorist trainers, with the families of suicide bombers, fighters and fanatics, and with Muslim scholars offering differing opinions on the legitimacy of violence in Islam. Through the voices of those who plan and those who grieve, "Martyrs" provides provocative and troubling insights into the zealotry that leads to the targeting of innocents, the endless cycle of revenge, and the despair that besets the Middle East. From Iran to Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, Joyce Davis reports on the rage that drives tragedies and at the despondency of the mothers of those who die and kill. Unsettling as the perspectives presented here may be, they are crucial to understanding, though not accepting, the fury at and resentment of the US.

¿Qué hace que una persona se suicide para matar a sus semejantes de un modo tan brutal? ¿Realmente consiente el islam este tipo de guerra santa y martirio? Este libro, basado en decena de entrevistas personales con eruditos islámicos de todo el mundo, refleja la visión de éstos sobre las enseñanzas del islam acerca del mart irio y el modo en que los extremistas han invertido esas enseñanzas para justificar los ataques contra inocentes.
