i actually cant believe the denialism (by Atran etc). the afterlife is a central, key focus of the islamic life. all morals derive from what happens to the soul after this life. the fear of hell haunted me for months during deconversion - in adulthood. its a central teaching.
Yes, eschatology is essential to Islam. But the deeper question is whether it is a primary motivating force behind jihadism or just an accompanying symptom of a common cause. I'm inclined to believe it may be the latter, for reasons I'll explain in my article.
