What is wrong with people???

Every day I check the "headline" news on my firefox browser. Increasingly, every day, I see reports of suicide bombers blowing up police in Iraq.

What is wrong with people? I understand these suicide bombers are brainwashed both from a religious fanatical viewpoint and military. At least in the military, even if the odds are barely or against your favour, you have a hope of surviving after the battle. Blowing yourself up leaves little of that option.

I've met a few religiously fanatical people in my lifetime, and I'd like to never see them again. In my opinion, religious fanaticism (whether it's in blowing people up because God tells you to, or convert or burn in hell, etc) are the dark side of all modern religions.
