Whenever you "hear someone say" something, always double-check. Hearsay is not considered evidence.

@auroreII,
"Hell" doesn't exist in Judaism (nor anything synonymous to it.) Didn't exist interestingly until Catholicism invented it. In Judaism, if you do things to merit some sort of major punishment, you're simply not resurrected along with everyone else.

As to Islam, being a hybridization of Judaism and Christianity with regional arab elements in it, it has their equivilent of Hell. According to the Qur'an, every suicide bomber is there.

@HesDeltanCaptain,
I think I have this right (not 100% sure) - every muslim goes through hell before reaching heaven, except for the martyrs. They get a passage straight to heaven.

The Quran has nothing about suicide bombers, nor anything close to it. The implications of why a suicide bomber does what he does, and whether it follows the other teachings of the Quran is what is at question. Ie. are they martyrs, or not.

Quick search with a basic intro to hell / heaven
