According to Psychology Today, Islamic women issues also explain why most suicide bombers are Muslim:
What distinguishes Islam from other major religions is that it tolerates polygyny. By allowing some men to monopolize all women and altogether excluding many men from reproductive opportunities, polygyny creates shortages of available women. If 50 percent of men have two wives each, then the other 50 percent don’t get any wives at all ...
The other key ingredient is the promise of 72 virgins waiting in heaven for any martyr in Islam. The prospect of exclusive access to virgins may not be so appealing to anyone who has even one mate on earth, which strict monogamy virtually guarantees. However, the prospect is quite appealing to anyone who faces the bleak reality on earth of being a complete reproductive loser.
It is the combination of polygyny and the promise of a large harem of virgins in heaven that motivates many young Muslim men to commit suicide bombings.

what an interesting disection of the unsettling principles of this very aberrant faith. there are many great influences from the muslim world. but i think they have really gone astray.anyway, how can anyone be so sheeplike as to believe the promises someone gives about a happy 'here after' i just can't get my mind to understand that.thank you for the stimulating post.
