This is correct. Also an additional part of the debate is the

construction of 'new shrines' for those women who have recently done

it. The question is does giving them a 'special spiritual status'

encourage others to imitate. As Colin says that Christianity has

'martyrs' which are given a special status. I wonder how much

different this really is from the Muslim religion that gives this

status to the suicide bombers?
