Many people self immolated in Vietnam so they wouldn't have to live under the tyranny of the United States... This is something I've thought about. Why are there ZERO Muslim suicide bombers that kill themselves, and only themselves, in the public square for all to see, to demonstrate their views? The Vietnamese monks killed themselves to express their objection to US presence on their soil. In India Ghandi's non-violent resistence had Indians putting THEMSELVES in front of British inflicted harm in order to protest British presence in India. Has anyone ever heard of a Muslim killing himself, and only himself, to express his objection to some existing political/social structure? We read every day about Muslims killing other humans for some reason, but very little about self sacrifice (and I'm talking sacrifice) to achieve a cause.
