It appears that Zonder argues in part that suicide bombers are an outgrowth of the loss of life caused by Israeli's to one's family. If this were acceptable behavior, why don't you see Israeli's strap bombs and enter PA territories. Remember both sides in this conflict are strong adherents of the 'eye for an eye' philosophy.

You also don't see Indians doing this to Muslims in there midst. Or Philipino Christians doing this to their Muslim neighbors. Everywhere you look, you only see one side resorting to inhumane violence against their neighbors. So whether you are looking at Chechnia, a Pastun tribal land, Nigeria, Kashmir, or Israel/West Bank, the consistent face of human behavior shares an Islamic thread.

This belies the arguement that it is not Islamic radicalism but a 'loss of loved one'. Excuses may work when your in grammar school, but I've got my education and I know who the enemy is!
