The truly awful terrible people that just want to kill are not the ones strapping the bombs to themselves though, they’re the ones strapping the bombs to others. Young, gullible people; true believers. Convinced by their unassailable belief they are doing the right thing, that they will be heroes, and there will be a special place in their heaven for them(also virgins).

The truly awful use drones, rigged pagers, assassinations, mines, missiles, bombs, starvation, torture camps and distorted law / lies / propaganda to kill thousands and millions. And then they call themselves heroes, convinced they do the right thing.
In 2021 there were about 74 suicide attacks worldwide (compared to about 127 the previous year, a decrease of about 42 percent), carried out by about 91 terrorists (compared to 177 in 2020, a decrease of 48.5 percent). These attacks caused the deaths of about 805 individuals (compared to 765 in 2020), and injured another 1,482 (compared to 1,926 in 2020).

In 2021, the UN recorded at least 11,075 civilian deaths in 12 of the world's deadliest armed conflicts.
https://www.securitycouncilreport.org/report
Suicide attacks are awful, but already down to 7% of civilian deaths in armed conflict, before Ukraine and Gaza wars started.
For some perspective: USA gun violence GVA: Recorded 647 mass shootings in 2022. They also recorded 686 mass shooting incidents in 2021.
In the United States, there were 48,204 firearm-related deaths in 2022.
- Suicide: Approximately 27,032 deaths. (out of 49,400 total in 2022, an estimated 703,000 people die by suicide worldwide each year)
- Homicide: Approximately 19,651 deaths.
- Unintentional injuries: Around 463 deaths.
- Legal intervention (e.g., shootings by police): An estimated 643 deaths.
Even 'natural' suicides dwarf suicide attackers.
For some more perspective: Approximately 1.19 million people die each year from road traffic crashes worldwide. In the United States, there were an estimated 42,795 traffic fatalities in 2022.
Yet people continue to drive like lunatics every day. Belief in "It won't happen to me".... (and likely won't, out of 8.2 billion people)
And even the worst suicide attacks on 9/11 claimed 'only' 2,977 people.
Then the illegal wars for (failed) regime changes carried out after that:
The post-9/11 wars have resulted in an estimated 4.5 to 4.7 million deaths, including both direct and indirect fatalities. Direct deaths, stemming from the violence of the conflicts, are estimated to be between 905,000 and 940,000. Indirect deaths, resulting from the war's impact on infrastructure, health, and the environment, are estimated to be between 3.6 and 3.8 million.
Anyway the truly awful terrible people are those that tell you we should bomb other countries / people in self-defense. The gullible people are those buying the propaganda and voting these truly awful terrible people into power to carry out their mass atrocities and genocides.Â
