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?

That's just a more complicated way of saying survival of the
fittest.  Using more syllables to say something doesn't make it more
profound.

Huh?  Howso?  It simply implies that evolution is no longer working
because we are frustrating its basic mechanism.

Did I say it could see?

No, not what I was talking about at all.  There is no politics in
what I said.

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.
