Just a thought . . .

Reading the thoughts and responses from several Musims leads me to wonder (and I mean no disrespect by my query):

Why don't Muslims (who vehemently disagree with the Islamasists and their radical interpretation of Islam) strap bombs to THEIR bodies and blow up terrorists? Certainly, a more noble act can hardly be conceived and the rewards of Paradise would most assuredly be bestowed upon those who so selflessly protected innocents with their own blood.

If sacrificing one's self in the name of Allah is so grand an exercise, why not do it against those who have so fervently twisted and bastardized Islam? One would think it to be THE MOST WORTHY Jihad of all!

I am puzzled why it's not happening. And if it IS - why it's not been reported.
