But it is a belief that motivates them to strap on bombs and blow themselves up. If they could be convinced that Allah won't reward them, they might not be quite so willing to die for their cause.
It's a belief, but an empty, idiotic one. But like all fanatical beliefs, you're not going to convince the fanatic that the belief is wrong because that simply isn't an option for the fanatic. They can believe they're going to a magic happy place in the sky all they want, when they're dead, they're just going to rot in the ground like everyone else. All the faith in the world doesn't make imaginary things real.
