Maybe... They are really selling 'belief', and are trying to get 'True
Believers'. For TB's, these terrorists have just gone to the *most*
wonderful place possible **within that belief system**. The 'logic' is
easy - be a martyr, and then you get to be in permanent, everlasting
ecstasy. Not bad, if you *believe* it.

It might be much better to use the well-proven techniques used by
cults to make people 'True Believers'.

Aren't Muslims one of the fastest growing religious groups?
In general, True Believers will do things that may seem very
unreasonable, sometimes in the extreme, to those outside the group.
