In a heartbeat. I think most people given those circumstances would.

Obviously not many people as your question has been posted for 7 minutes without any answers.
I think this question makes people nervous because they like to have an US and THEM view of the world. I am a Christian (born in US and family has always been in US -- American Indians on both sides of my family so I think I can criticize America if I want to) and have often thought that we are sorely behind the Muslim community because we lack the will to give our lives for our beliefs.
I don't know what I would do in the situation you describe, but what I have observed is that each culture has different ways of expressing emotion and in the East emotional outbursts at level 10 are acceptable and normal -- Americans are taught and encouraged to be much more subdued and apathetic.
I get flack all of the time for being angry when I am just being passionate. I get weird looks from people from being painfully honest too. I've been to Eastern Countries (several) and it's not just the Middle East -- its Italy, Greece, Romania, etc. There is passion in their culture and you can have vigorous conversation without it turning into a fight -- because everyone understands it's just passion not anger.
Westerners are too worried about appearance and don't spend enough time on contemplating the deeper issues of life so they are often disconnected from their emotions.
I am so glad you asked this question! It will get some people to think, perhaps -- but mostly your responses will be hostile and people will be mean to you -- I am sorry in advance for that.

I would never under any circumstances take the life of another in that way. Suicide bombers take the lives of Innocent people, I could never do that.

Christians do not believe in suicide. That is an offense against Christ. We forgive those who hurt us. Especially when we don't even know who it is who did it. 9-11 our own president pulled that off. Yet who are we fighting? Not our president who is slowly stealing our GOD given rights! The right to bear arms, almost gone! In New Orleans people who have permits to carry guns are getting their guns taken from them, they can't even defend themselves against the criminals there.

No, think how many of the enemy I could kill by staying alive and sniping them. A whole hell of a lot more than a bomb would kill.
Plus, they'd be dead and not wounded.

I would never commit suicide. There would be a reason my family was taken. If God gave my family to me, he has the right to take them away.
