Suicide missions were carried out by the Japanese in WWII. Suicide missions were carried out by the Tamil Tigers of Sri Lanka. In both these instances the motivation was not religious. Nor is it the primary motivation in all of the suicide missions carried out by Muslims (I have already posted a link to interviews with potential suicide bombers concerning the reasons to carry out these missions, but here it is again for your convenience http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/pages/ShArt.jhtml?itemNo=178487&contrassID=2&subContrassID=14&sbSubContrassID=0&listSrc=Y)


You wrote, "The majority of Muslims sympatize with those suicide bombers, and that is because it's in the Koran." What is in the Koran? the call to carry out suicide missions, or the call to sympathize with suicide bombers? Please give me the relevant sections from the Koran that answer these questions.
