Because there is a consensus that axe murderers are absolutely barbaric while there isn't a consensus that suicide bombings of busses and restaurants is absolutely barbaric. I understand that you are asserting the latter but I doubt that even you really believe that. If it were absolutely barbaric, then there would be no circumstance, no scenario, in which you could tolerate the practice.

If there is any situation that justifies suicide bombings, that same situation would justify ax murder. The method used doesn't change the moral implications of the act. Either its ok to be biased against suicide bombers, or its not ok to be biased against ax murderers.
