I am a very political person, and I have been since the anti-war protests in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
In the 1960s the incredible strength of feeling in America in opposition to the Vietnam War was almost scary. Some people left America and moved to Canada, others moved to Europe. Some became conscientious objectors or medics. But no sane person even remotely considered killing someone as a way to stop the war, much less the idea of killing large numbers of completely innocent people and then committing suicide. Even heavily drugged out, somewhat insane people wouldn't have considered this.
I don’t know what it is that motivates so many Muslims to wear a bomb, and then blow themselves up trying to kill as many innocent people as possible. This concept is hideously sick and evil.
The ballot box may not always be the answer. Non-violence may not always solve the problem. But intentionally targeting masses of innocent non-combatants and killing yourself in the same gesture sure as hell isn’t the way to go about getting what you want.

Organized religion in general has more negative aspects than positive. But some religions are even worse than others.
