If their clergy can't recruit any more soldiers they should be delighted at the chance to become soldiers themselves.

This is the muslim way to cleanse the gene pool. Anyone too stupid to live, doesn’t.
Maybe the really stupid ones are all gone.

Sent them out into the dessert to practice with live bombs, say 2, 3, 4 times or more until they get it right.

"Interrogation of prisoners and intercepted messages revealed that local al-Qa'ida commanders are complaining about the lack of foreigners to carry out suicide missions as they had done to devastating effect in the past,..." If you really need to get something done, the best way is to do it yourself. I guess those lazy al-Qa'ida commanders will now have to strap on bombs and do the job themselves.
