Perhaps we need to address the causes of terrorism and Islamic Fundamentalism. These are:
1) Lack of education
2) Poverty
3) Exploitation.
In fact, item 3 is probably the cause of the the others. The people of the Middle East have been exploited for their entire existence. They have been conquered and occupied by every advanced civilization. Romans, Greeks, Ottoman Empire and Britain/France. And the final straw was when a portion of their land was offered by Britain to create Israel.
Now the Western nations continue to use the Middle East for oil.
Let's face it, these people got the short end of the straw and now the camel's back is breaking.
I am not Muslim, nor do I approve of suicide bombing. I think it is stupid and I think they target the wrong people because they are fuelled by hate for centuries of mistreatment. We need to change our governments, so that they stop exploiting people of other countries, especially the Republicans in the US government. Get rid of Bush and let someone else have a turn running UK. In Canada, we should topple Harper's minority government and look for an alternative. Even the corrupt Liberals are better than Harper brown nosing to GWB.

If your son had a change to become a martyr, you wouldn't be so quick to judge.
You don't understand their way of life, and you don't even try to understand.
Stop being the stereotypical American by assuming that everything you don't agree with is a bad thing. Do you live in a war zone? No. Do you have to worry about whether or not your family will survive? No.
Stop making biased judgments and weak arguments to attempt an intelligent though.

these women do not give or raise their babies away, as children grow and see all the hate and the pain, the killing and the robbing of their lands, the rape of women, the death of fathers brothers etc....They have nothing to live for so they turn themselves to suicide bombers, they are going to die either way... Imagine yourself in their shoes, with all that anger bottled up and increases day by day, with no one to help you or your family or your country. You take Gods name and exit life to gove your family a little pride thats been robbed away forever.

Islam's general religious practice is like a cult. The more extreme form is a closed cult, that is the followers truly believe in the violence against "non-faithful" their religious heads the Mulahs (priests) and the Qadi (judges) preach.
Mohammed, the so-called prophet, who was a womanizer, an abuser and a gigolo, must be laughing his head off. One thing you have to give him credit for----he killed mostly in self-defence. He liked women too much to waste his time murdering innocent people.

You have absolutely NO IDEA what you're talking about. No mother on earth would want to lose her kid. Once you've lived a day in the lives of these people (I'm referring to Palestinians as im assuming you are), then you can talk about the actions of these people. I am in no way with killing kids and innocent people, don't get me wrong. But I will not sit and criticize people who are suffering because I have no idea what it's like. Neither do you.
p.s. watch Paradise Now

They believe in their religion more.When I was in Viet Nam I was told not to pick up baby's on the side of the road because some are boobytraped. A lot of U.S, troops were wounded or killed doing that.The Muslims believe the males who are suicide boomers& die get rewarded in heaven with 17? virgins.That verse is not in my bible but I guess it is in theirs..

They are taught at a very early age to hate the Jews and the West. After they've blown themselves up, they are praised and considered to be martyrs. Absolutely amazing! How do we win a war against a mindset like that?

You don't have to go that far to be aware of the completely warped disposition of the human heart. You'll see the wierdest, most unnatural things right here in our own country as well.
