But one wonders why Latin Americans (Mexicans, Brazilians, Peruvians and others) have not attempted to resort to the violence the way Muslim people are doing right now. Why Vietnamese, Cambodians and other Asians have not blown themselves up when they come to work in western countries ? Why blacks throughout several centuries of slavery and humiliation have not detonated themselves and instead they have strived hard to compete with the whites using the areas they excel such as arts ,sports ,etc? I do not subscribe to the idea that anti-imperial struggle is the main concern of the islamists. Quite the contrary, I think colonizing their host countries is what they have been dreaming about but because they neither have the power and competence they choose this "practical" shortcut..which evetnually will lead to their inevitable defeat.

In their twisted ideology they see them selves as martyrs and guaranteed a place in heavens. They are NOT permitted to question their faith and blindly absorb the mythology given to them from birth.
I was born a Christian, years later I realized that it was man who created God in his own image and not the other way around.
Having been enlightened over the years I managed to dich the mythology created by ancient man.
By the way, sanctity of life is not a virtue that is widespread in the Islamic word.
