The people you are referring to are called religious extremists and they come from all types of religions. a true Muslim is all about peace and tranquility and purity. now, why these extremists are so quick to kill themselves for their cause I believe is ignorance. They pick and choose what fundamentals from the Koran aids in their cause and exclude the rest. bottom line, Muslims don't commit suicide!!

I believe people as a collective have fell to immorality. The principals that govern the nations have allowed people to become desensitized by constant showing of sex, drugs, foul language, mistreatment by parents, a complete lack of parenting and many other things. you can't look at a television and not see these things on free basic cable, it's on our computers and for so many in our hearts. so I believe humans are completely lacking in the department of showing our fellow man love and compassion. two very important fundamentals for a productive society as well as proper role models to guide our children which are our future.
