Why has this spread from mideast to south asia to europe to anywhere there are muslims. You know i am not a racist but I just dont get it.

Because, as a means of keeping their name (and their cause) in the public news, it's highly effective. Just like a disruptive child, who's being ignored, negative attention is still attention. It signals that "hey we're still here so don't think you Kafir / infidels are safe"...

And I think there's something to do with being promised 72 virgins in Paradise that motivates many of the younger folks. They simply have no hope of ever possessing the economic means to pay the dowry necessary to obtain a wife. This has certainly been an influence amongst young Saudi members.

But suffice it to say, NO Muslim nation is safe from these militants. And I dare say this is going to be a growing trend for years to come, unless there is some international headway made in improving the economic lot of hundreds of millions of people.

But to do that, you have to have economic and political reforms.
