islam, the religion of love...

People keep talking about suicide bombers like the only incentive is heaven. Perhaps I'm wrong in this, but I could have sworn there was a big to do because martyr's families were getting support/money/status from the deaths of their children?

Isn't the middle east still very heavily tribal in nature? If it is, I'd say that advancing the status and wealth of your family becomes paramount even over self. You could have purely economic incentives for blowing yourself up too. It doesn't have to be delusional kids who think they're going to get to fuck women for all eternity. Nor does it have to be some lower brain function driving men who aren't getting pussy to blow themselves up so they can somehow satisfy their procreative urges in the afterlife.

If you're one of six kids, and not the eldest, then perhaps the best thing for you to do is to go kerblooie.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
