El Greco, The Martyrdom of St Maurice, 1580-81, oil on canvas, 448 x 301 cm., Monasterio de San Lorenzo, El Escorial.
In a 31-minute audio message released late Saturday by the IS media arm al-Furqan, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani told his followers that, "the tiniest action you do in the heart of their land is dearer to us than the biggest action by us ... there are no innocents in the heart of the lands of the Crusaders."
He encouraged lone wolf attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start early next month, "to win the great award of martyrdom."
Nothing says holy like martyrdom. What these people fail to realize is the so-called sacrifice they are making ensures that no one will remember their name because committing jihad is neither honorable nor worth remembering. People who do this become nothing more than just another lunatic bomber who humanity hopes they will rot in hell for the atrocities they committed. If anything, people will be happy you are no longer blessed with breath on this good Earth but sad with the knowledge that your stupidity came at the price of murdering innocent people.
