"..a better life dead than alive". Still the attempt to blame religion for the world's ills. Again, where is the justification within Islam for what the suicide bomber did? It is clearly an abuse of Islam. And, yet again, any belief can be abused.

As has been noted earlier on other threads, of the 3 men responsible for most deaths in human history--Stalin, Hitler and Mao--none were exactly religious firebrands. You may want to declare nationalism to be a form of religion--very convenient for your argument--but rather transparently self-serving.

And yet again, an example of a belief which in itself is not evil--but can be abused.

QED.
