I don't think that's exactly right. The religious doctrine that supports "Behead those that insult Islam/Muhammed" is based on sha'ria - Islamic law. The murder would just be an enforcement of the law, and not a ticket to paradise. (I believe you are thinking of jihad, as best I can remember the only ticket to paradise is not fighting in jihad, but dying in jihad.)
Bit of a quibble, but there's a bit of a difference between a ticket to paradise and simply enforcing religious law on people who do not live under sha'ria or follow that religion.
- Tichy 17y agoI don't know much about it, to be honest. But what incentives do the fanatics have to enforce islamic law? Maybe in some cases some spiritual leaders make extra promises? Like for the famous british author who has been living in hiding for years now? (Somehow I am braindead today, can't recall his name).
