The book "The New Crusader War" mentioned a fatwa to the effect that if the murderer of the innocent people in America is a Muslim, he has to pay half the diyya [compensation money] to the families of murdered Muslims and nothing more.

*Why they are considered martyrs and how will they be resurrected? *Compensation for death, when is it acceptable under Islam?
Deaths due to accidents involving airplanes and ships provoke more than one question for Islamic legislation. How, why and when are victims considered to be martyrs by God?
