"...the men who rammed their flaming vehicle through the glass of the airport terminal, poured gasoline on themselves, and shouted "Allah Akbar" (God is Great) as they burned and resisted arrest, showed intense commitment." -taken from http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/world/ny-wbrit0702,0,1191369.story?coll=ny-top-headlines
But seriously, was it 'commitment' that drove them to resist arrest or the flailing that comes with being set alight?
"Allah Akbar, it burns!"

I see your point. It would be a different story if they resisted being extinguished. It actually took commitment for the officers to attempt to arrest people who were on fire at the time.

It was blind ignorance that led their actions.
