Truth is a little too heavy for you to carry, right?

Ah, yes. Samson, the original suicide bomber.

<<< Let us commemorate the first suicide bomber, who
prayed to God to die killing thousands.

"Now the house was full of men and women;
and all the lords of the Philistines were there;
and there were upon the roof about three
thousand men and women, that beheld while
Samson made sport. And Samson called unto
the LORD, and said, O Lord God, remember
me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee,
only this once, O God, that I may be at once
avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes. And
Samson took hold of the two middle pillars
upon which the house stood, and on which it
was borne up, of the one with his right hand,
and of the other with his left. And Samson
said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he
bowed himself with all his might; and the
house fell upon the lords, and upon all the
people that were therein. So the dead which he
slew at his death were more than they which he
slew in his life." (Judges 16:27-30, King James
version)

Neither Moslem nor Arab, the first suicide
bomber was Samson, adored as hero in both
Christian and Jewish tradition through the ages.
