Do they ever regret dressing children up in suicide bombs to pose in photographs? Do they say hey, why do we call Christians and Jews apes and swine and teach it to our kids? Do they ever say, why do some of us, break law in the name of Islam, to murder, to kidnap, to terrorize?

The last time the west controlled the Holy Land was during the Crusades. It took the Muslims 200 years to kick 'em out...so they are used to looking at the long term. While their militaries are weak, they employ terrorism (the ultimate in asymmetrical warfare). The alternative is that their militaries are strong (like Iran) and the damage is even worse. They don't pursue a path of peace because peaceful solutions will leave the Holy Land out of their control.

I think you will find that nation states in Arab countries do NOT condone such actions. Just as the IRA, or the Klu Klux Klan, or the "Crips and Bloods", or even Southern Americans don't represent the west, neither do extremists represent Arab or Muslim society.
If Arab or Muslim people as a whole did support terrorism against the USA or the West in general, do you honestly think we would still be here?
While the US may not have suicide bombers, they wholeheartedly support Israel while they bomb civilian areas and kill children en masse. The US government is also contravening their own law by keeping Guantanamo bay open, and have killed hundreds of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan in recent times.
There are always multiple perspectives, and if the USA were the suppressed people, and the Arab countries were the most powerful nations in the world (politically and economically), I think you would be pretty quick to judge them, and just as quick to become a "freedom fighter", or "terrorist". It's easy to give up your life when you have nothing to lose.

Arab societies do not teach their children hate for other religions. We are living in a Global era where children mostly perceive things from what they see around them rather what they've been taught or inculcate by their parents or societies. Arab children are being brought up in the age of bloodshed. They see killings all over them by Christians and Jews which leads to fanatic eruption among these children.

They don't justify it. Any more than Britain justifies the IRA, or the US justifies the KKK.
It's a just a bunch of people who are so filled with hatred that it warps their brain. They don't represent the 99.9% of the rest of the population.

They see it as an honor to die as a martyr in the service of Allah.
They believe they are doing gods will. The key to Islam is submission to the will of Allah.

They don't have to regret dressing their children up in suicide bombs, their children volunteer to go on those missions, and most of them keep their missions secret to their own families.
Whenever I see one of them blow themselves up, I think about those people who kill themselves in acts of suicide, here , in the USA. The one commonality in their actions, is their feeling of hopelessness. Instead of criticizing them, I think about what makes them commit suicide; maybe, you should too.

I don't know, but it's wrong to teach children to hate and kill
Christians and Jews don't tell their children to hate or kill other people.
