Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

I had three points, and presume you meant the last one, ignoring the other two.

Thank goodness we do not have abortion clinics (or anything else) being blown up daily. But truly, killing is killing, and the people are dead, and anything they might have contributed to humanity is lost. Their families and friends mourn. Having lost my mom to cancer back in August, I know how that feels somewhat. Had she been murdered, I do not know how I would have reacted.

I do not have a belief as I have not talked with any of them.

So, in other words you really don't know why they blow themselves up, but you don't accept my reason why they blow themselves up. Why?

That is kind of an ambiguous statement. Do you mean the source of suicide bombers or what? I'm not sure what you mean.

I don't accept your reason for why suicide bombers blow themselves up because I do not know for certain that it comes from the source of that information - the individual in question. And sometimes I think even that source is not likely to tell the real reason they are blowing themselves up unless you actively listen to them and get to the heart of the reason they joined a terrorist group to begin with.

Do they really do it to please Allah, or do they do it to please themselves or their higher-ups in the organization?

So you are saying/assuming there are no secular reasons for someone to join a terrorist group...
