I'd think it would take some major balls (or drugs, or brainwashing) to blow yourself up.
Most importantly, how we perceive actions of radical Islamists is vastly different from how other Muslims perceive them. It's easy to write off behavior that we don't connect with as simply crazy, and in doing so we loose sight of what's really going on.

Thu rub here is that is doesn't matter what your culture thinks. Right and wrong are absolute, and you don't get a pass because your society accepts what you're doing. Otherwise, you have to say that slave owners did nothing wrong, Nazis did nothing wrong, etc. Your logic implies that as long as you get enough idiots to agree with you, you can do whatever you want.
They are murderers, no better or worse than any other.
