Abstract

Part of the manual that hijacker's carried on September 11, 2001 is analyzed for literary devices and philosophical and religious references meant to push a terrorist to martyrdom. The authors are surprised at the manual's support for killing innocents, an action that is forbidden by the Muslim religion.
