Gee Murray. You are saying, if I understand you correctly that laying down one's life for one's children is not insane but for one's religious beliefs or because of homosexuality, is. Another hole in your reasoning is that people who are willing to commit suicide for anything other than their children's lives are insane and you are implying that homosexuals are insane. You also said as I thought might be true, that the Islamic culture doesn't look askance at homosexuality among it's men. If that is true then why would they want to commit suicide because they are gay? I appreciate the inquiry but I think your reasoning has holes in it.

I was taught Occam's razor in my PhD training. The simplist explanation is most likely to be right. I don't know what it is but I would say these Muslim's hate America and what it stands for and that's why they did it. I also think they hate America because they have been taught to believe that our culture is sick and should be annihilated. Whoa, scarey thought...but I doubt that homosexuality made them suicidal and that's why they became terrorists....
