I can't help but wonder...

Do these terrorists ever feel an ounce of guilt? Any regret? The slightest bit of hesitation or doubt? And those who end up dying, what is it that they find on the other side?

What tenuous hope we cling to...that even in the people portrayed as the embodiment of evil, some good can still be found...

It's organised religion that seems to be the real culprit. Genuinely evil people are very rare, misguided people are everywhere. It was on the news tonight that the London bombers were only kids.

There's a very dark satirical comedy animation tv programme called Monkey Dust that's been on for the past couple of years. I've always admired the accuracy of their observations. One of the sketches that featured in the past had three young asian youths in Birmingham planning to be suicide bombers, but always changing their plans because they wanted to go to the football match, etc. It seemed so implausible it was funny back then, I doubt it will ever be shown again now.

It worries me that the misguided people can be convinced to go so far as to carry out suicide bombings. It seems like with each generation, people are losing their way...or their conscience.

I don't know if it's the religion itself that's the culprit more than some people manipulating it and interpreting things to serve their own purposes.

Oh yeah, it's a guarantee that Monkey Dust episode will never see the light of day again.

I agree, its definitely the people - I don't think that religions per se are evil, but everywhere you look in history people have used the power of religion for their own ends.
