Religions of Peace - 9th century edition

“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar

yeah, right, the only way to get to ValHalla was to heroically die with weapons in hand, in the middle of an epic fight, and you'd better be good if you wanted to be chosen.... any other death, or fighting death while not being good enough would put you down in Niflheim, in Hel's domain.

not to mention a culture that has a word for 'legal and honorable killing'.

We call that a "justified shoot". OK, it's two words.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
