When a young Arab boy or girl strap a bomb on themselves and go out and murder in the name of their god in the stupid belief that their god will reward them for murdering innocent people it is IMO because they simply are doing what they believe to be the right thing.

Suicide bombers such as you are speaking of here are Palestinian. Poverty is a huge factor for these families. They do not do it to please god. They do it because they are being oppressed. They are oppressed and they bomb because of that. God only approves because the cause is righteous. Murder for murder's sake is not condoned. When your land and your livelihood are taken away...you too will become a bomber.

Same thing with the 9-11 bombers, which did not live in poverty...at least while they were on their mission. But they do not do it because it pleases god. They do it because it pleases god that they struggle against the occupiers and oppressors.

Now go back and re-read my post with this in mind.
