Suicide bombing is an accepted method of achieving heroic status in the Mideast.

Why? Where do they learn such "interesting" ideas?

It's not in any tenet of Islam that I've seen..

Nor is there any particular history of suicide bombings in Islam. Certainly assassinations and fanaticism, but not suicide bombings where the attacker absolutely sought to die.

I believe this is a recent teaching, promoted by radicalized clerics without regard for the sanctity of human life.

But I have often stated that the key to diffusing the power of the militants is to economically empower the growing youth in the population.
