"Willing to die"

[unixronin]

A female survivor of this month's violent storming by Pakistani forces of Islamabad's Red Mosque has spoken of how she wanted to be a suicide bomber.

[...]

"We wanted to carry out suicide attacks.  We didn't have enough ammunition to fight face-to-face...  Yes, we had a passion and we were willing to go to all lengths."

[...]

Just one of 30 women to leave the mosque alive, she said her greatest regret was that she had not embraced martyrdom, adding that she was "overcome by grief" when she saw her father again.

Well, I suppose one could always execute the lot and give them all their hearts' desires.  "You want to be a martyr?  No problem."

Insert paradise-preventing execution method here...

I believe there's an historical precedent for involving porcine slaughter wastes in the execution?

What, because you wouldn't die for what you believe in?

Secundus:
There's a difference in being willing to die for what you believe in if necessary, and being heartbroken that you didn't get the opportunity.
