Will Suicide Bombers Obtain Heaven

Dante Inferno Vs Bosch Garden Of Earthly Delights

These teachings are, though terrifying to some, generally vague- the specifics incomprehensible and distant. Hell is well known as simply unpleasant and hot, but could there be more to the legend than that? Both Dante Aligh...
