Arun, nor the female Palestinians, nor Chechens. The bevy of virgins theory doesn't match what's happening. The simple answer is as with all young and idealistic people willing to die for a cause. They believe so strongly in what they are doing that they'll die in the attempt to make their wishes happen. The stuff about virgins is just metaphor [and I dare say urban myth].
