All religions, beliefs or powers can produce suicide bombers. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Islam. Japan had suicide bombers during WWII - suicide Zero pilots, right? Teenagers are very susceptible to all kids of philosophy, indoctrination etc. Everywhere. Japan, Ireland, Palestine etc. Heck, all voluntary young soldiers are suicidal to some extend, aren't they?

No, not what I was talking about at all.

Seems to me that suicide bombers are connected to Islam, at least the Islamic ones. They justify their lunacy by claiming inspiration from Islam. Same for Irish terrorists.
