The radicalization of the vulnerable is a sobering reality. Guilt, shame, and the longing for lost innocence can make people do the most terrible things—as long as salvation awaits on the other side. Whether it’s drinking Kool-Aid or strapping on a suicide vest, when bliss, honor, and glory are promised, people are willing to lay down their own lives—and the lives of others.
—D. C. McAllister, “There’s Hope For Female Suicide Bombers“
