Soldiers in OIF remarked at how a father could calmly pick up the mangled body of his child and walk home.
The soldiers were told by their interpreter that Arabs do not mourn the way Westerners do, having something to do with and unshakeable faith in the afterlife. Also explains why Muslims are so eager to fight to the death.
I have yet to understand how Palestinian parents could send their children out to bomb a few miles away while they stayed home. If I felt so strongly about a situation, I would have given my own life before sending my child a few miles away to kill for me, and then collect Saddam's check afterwards.

For starters, Arabic armies can't and don't fight. Even with state-of-the-art equipment, they bail out and run. And what kind of a god cheers when school children on buses, babies in strollers, etc., rejoices because some brain-dead follower thinks that a one-way ticket to allah's whorehouse in the sky? And just look at a description of their 'Paradise' if you think 'whorehous' is too strong a term.
And why do any female Muslims blow themselves up, because their status in paradise is highly questionable?
