    The very notion that they are afraid of not gaining what they aspire to, compel them to do more than what is required using illegitimate means. This is extremism.

    I agree, but when someone sacrifices their own life according to the laws of the faith in which they practice (not necessarily Islam, but FAITH doesnt have to come from the Quran only), that is not showing a lack of faith in a belief held. If one is a Christian BELIEVER and murders for fun - they may still have FAITH that they will go to hell and attempt to do things later in life to avoid their destination. This does not mean that they do not have FAITH, but that they do not believe that they are going to heaven. I am not saying it is the same, but i hope that i am not arguing a seperate issue.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
