Also - nichts neues, enh?

Peculiar though these characters are, there is a tradition of self destruction that goes back to the hoping-for-destruction days of the Red army faction and the Bader-Meinhof Gang. No, silly, not this gang!

Deutche Welle:

Citing an unnamed high-ranking security expert, Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel reported on Wednesday that three German women who have converted to Islam allegedly planned suicide bomb attacks in Iraq and Pakistan.

Suspected suicide bomber wanted to take child along

Another newspaper Der Berliner Zeitung reported that the 40-year-old women from Berlin also planned to involve her young child in the attack.

"She apparently planned to draw her two-year-old child, who lives with her, along with her to death," the paper quoted an unnamed police source in Berlin. One of the other women also apparently planned to take her one-year-old child with her to Iraq.
Winners, I tell ya. Tip of the mütze to Clarsonimus the Great of Pankow.

Back to the motivation, it seems most prominent in the developed world where some can live idle lives supported by others, and their sacrificing of the whole social system is thought of as a personal sacrifice that they’re willing to accept. To begin with, you have to believe that other peoples’ lives are at your personal disposal to begin with. Erin Pizzey some years back did the definitive dismemberment of the matter:
«What I saw happening were groups of left-leaning, white, middle-class women gathering together to hate men. Their slogan was: "Make the personal political." What I could see happening was that the most vociferous and violent of the women took their own personal damage, their anger against their fathers and lovers and expanded their rage to include all men.

Many of these women were "trust fund bunnies" meaning that they lived off their rich father's money.

Some went to Germany to join the Badermeinhof revolutionaries. Others went to Holland to join the Red Stockings and some chose to come to England. England seemed destined to become the revolutionary hot bed for terrorists all over the world, Beirut by the Thames.
With Jihad, they can find a great deal of personal damage to pity themselves over. Otherwise it might be the face-saving way-out from the society that marched for and demanded for the revolution minded.
Either way, this isn’t the result of reasoned social thought, it’s a personal indulgence to prop ones’ former assertions up on without having to admit failure.

The fuse is lit!
