Re: Serious question about Islam
I have read that in Iran, the government gauranteed the security of the family of suicide bombers. They would be put up in a nice home and given many comforts of life for the remainder of their days.
Once would-be bombers saw how well the families of other suicide bombers were taken care of, I'm sure it made some of them more willing to do it. In a nation where poverty means discomfort and likely early death, I can see how this would be good motivation, to raise one's family status.
Perhaps the women are doing it for the same reason?
