It's obvious you don't agree with the fundamentals of Islam or the ideas of martys, but a lot of the people we're trying to work with in the middle east do. To them, it's honorable and the highest level of righteousness they could achieve to strap a bomb to their chest and to martyr themselves

There is nothing in the Koran that condones this sort of activity. It's the same thing as bombers of abortion clinics operating in the name of God. Because some people do this, does that make it right in the eyes of all Christians? It's the equivalent of the Manson murders where someone told gullible people that a higher power compelled them to do wicked things. Or the Japanese doomsday cult with poison gas in the subways. Should that be ok? It was endorsed by their leader after all.
A pretty weak argument.
