proStandwithus.com provided this clip from Palestinian TV with
the following explanation.  Shahada means two things.  SHAHADA:
To die for Allah, one's death serves as a "witness" that one's
death was for Allah.  SHAHADA: To make a statement, to "testify"
that "Allah is God and Mohammed his prophet"  By using the same
term as the "testimony" for death, the act of dying for Allah is
elevated by the declaration of faith. Please watch the tape to
understand more fully the use of the term, and its current
application in Palestinian culture. You will hear children, a TV
personality and clerics use the term to describe MARTYRDOM, and
you will hear songs expressing Shahada as martyrdom as well.
