Not so long ago, Japanese were glorifying suicide attacks. In fact, whereas Islam prohibits suicide, the Buddhist perspective is a lot more lenient...I am not sure which single sect of Islam it is that you think suicide attacks stem from. I can think of several. And in each case the question you should be asking is "why now".

"It is a moral choice that has not been made in any other version of a mainstream religion."

The Japanese did it in worshipping their emperor. Most of the population was ready to commit suicide to fight our invasion before the A bomb, and suitable explosives had been prepared. If the emperor hadn't surrendered, they would have.
