The phrase "suicide bomber" is wrongly focused. "Homicide bomber" recognizes that the killing of others is the disgusting and cowardly result.
This article pretends these radicals being called to die for their beliefs represents some kind of selfless, or noble call. But they are being rallied to kill for their decrepid beliefs.
I disagree. The peculiarity of the post-Qutb re-conception of Islamic martyrdom is the suicide.
Except for ETA-style bombers who call in a warning to get people out of the bomb-target, all bombers are intent on homicide.
Stressing the suicide aspect has the virtue that real classical Muslims, who have not imbibed the dose of existentialism with which Qutb laced his Koranic commentaries, should be revolted by the practice as much as Christians, Jews and secularists are: the Koran does have a prohibition on suicide, with rather graphic descriptions of the torments suicides face in Mohammed's conception of hell.
It is only after Sayyed Qutb's commentaries which owe as much to Sartre as to Mohammed that suicide bombing became regarded as a form of martyrdom among the Mohammedans.
