I have seen many people both on TV and newspaper articles say that religion has much to do in pushing, motivating someone toward the idea of suicide bombing. I won't go into details to support my thesis but I believe a human doesn't really follow, adhere to any particular religion. They choose only those parts of their religion which suit them. I'm not suggesting that there is no God. Well, we better keep God out this discussion. A suicide bomber could be anyone; they could be from any religion, any part of the world. When a person has been socially ill-treated or is depressed for some personal reasons and has decided to commit suicide. Then, a slightest grudge against society can turn him into a suicide bomber. It is nonsense to think that he would consider it a crime or think that other people's lives have some value. When he has decided to throw away the value of his own life, then why would he care about the value of something else.
Suppose, someone is ready to commit suicide. He has his finger on a button which when pressed would result in destruction of all the human life on earth. He starts thinking that there would be too many people like him around the world who are going through the same kind of pain as him, and he also knows that there would be many who are happy with their lives. Jealousy is an important part of human nature, psyche. I think he would go with pressing that button and won't feel any guilt for his decision. What difference does it make if a happy one or a sad one die? I don't think much. Especially, to the person thinking of pressing button would be more connected to the misfortunate ones around than the happy ones. He will definitely press that button. To him, it would be a noble idea. No human, no suffering, no pain.
