Maybe four or five years ago I read an article in the KC Star about a young "suicide bomber." it may change your views some.

She was an Iraqi, 14 years old and suffered from rheumatoid arthritis. Her family "married" her to an al-Queda leader, a man she had hardly ever seen.   She was kept in an apartment in Baghdad, surrounded by women associates of her so-called husband. One day, the women got strangely nice to her, and they gave her come delicious apricot juice.

The next thing she knew, she was wandering around a market, feeling dazed and wearing a vest full of explosives. A policeman came up to her and removed the components that would have detonated the vest. She was taken into custody, and no doubt her life was never the same after that. I would like to know where she is now, but no doubt that would be dangerous for her.

So now you know another way that "suicide bombers" are made.
