<p>A growing body of psychological literature suggests that suicide bombers  aren&#39;t ideologues who are so committed to their cause that they&#39;re  willing to die for it &#8212; rather, they are suicidally depressed people  who use the excuse of dying for a cause to psych themselves up to commit  the deed, and as a loophole for committing suicide without committing a  sin.</p>
