Why are so many Muslims motivated to fight and die as martyrs/shaheeds in Islam?
According to Islamic doctrine, when a Muslim dies for any reason – car crash, heart attack, old age – his body is washed, shrouded, prayed over, and buried in accordance with Sharia (Islamic Law). Specific details of how the body is washed, who is to wash, specific prayers to be prayed, and how the grave is dug is all a part of the Sharia covering this topic.
Once the deceased is placed in the grave, his soul separates from the body and lingers above it. Here is a description from What Islam is All About, the most popular text used in Islamic junior high schools in America:
“When you die, your soul is taken from your body by the Angel of Death. If you were a good person, it is gently drawn out from your flesh. If you were bad, however, then your soul is ripped violently from it.”
…
There is only one exception.
The martyr or shaheed – the one who dies in battle in Allah’s cause (Jihad) – immediately goes to the highest level of paradise the moment his first drop of blood hits the ground, and he receives the promise of sensual pleasures. The shaheed avoids all punishments of the grave and is sure of his reward in paradise. The shaheed does not feel the pain of death.
“It is unlawful to wash the body of a martyr or perform funeral prayer over him. A martyr means someone who died in battle with non-Muslims. It is recommended that war gear be removed from the body, and it is best to bury the martyr in the rest of his bloodstained clothes since it is the effect of worship.” [Um dat al Salik, 14th Century Islamic Sacred Law, certified by Al Azhar as authoritative Sunni Islamic Law]
To die as a shaheed against non-Muslims is the highest form of worship in Islam.

So be it! Let them die in shaheed and we can piss on their graves and pour pig’s blood on them; like they did in the 1870’s.
Those soldiers, that pissed on those Afghans, should be memorialized, not castigated.
When Mohammed wrote the Quran, there were no explosives … or suicide bombers.
Otherwise, the instruction would be that you bury … in the bloodstained clothes … any parts you are able to find of said ‘martyr’.
