The Spiral of Martyrdom
On September 11, 2001, 2,823 innocent victims of 78 different nationalities and every religious denomination were killed when four American commercial flights were hijacked and crashed. Who are the men who led the passengers and thousands of innocent people on the ground to their deaths? Three days after the attacks, the FBI revealed the identities of 19 suspects. Where can we find the keys to an understanding of these warriors of Islam? How did sons of respectable families become kamikazes? How did their loved ones fail to see the signs of what was to come? This investigation will shed new light on these fighters for Islam. "The Spiral of Martyrdom" offers a chilling view into the devastating indoctrination program that led some of them to accept their own deaths as they killed others.
