suicide will be rewarded in Paradise?
This needs some clarification, but I'm drawing a blank on how to do so. Killing oneself is not always suicide. For example, jumping on a grenade to save fellow soldiers is (in the case of mortal injury) killing oneself, but this isn't considered suicide. Any suggestions?

:*Killing oneself is always suicide. According to [[Durkheim]], a famous sociologist, he states that there are four different types of suicides. The example you mention above would be defined as altruistic suicide because it is killing oneself for the good of others.

Cut:
:although some radical Islamic Mullahs (teachers) claim that if it is committed as part of a religious war, the suicide will be rewarded in Paradise.
Too controversial for such an off-hand reference. Should be more than a subordinate clause. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 11:54, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
