U.S. Muslims are two times more likely to have attempted suicide compared with other religious groups, according to a study published last month in JAMA Psychiatry. Nearly 8% of Muslims in the survey reported a suicide attempt in their lifetime compared with 6% of Catholics, 5% of Protestants and 3.6% of Jewish respondents.
"Anecdotally and in clinical settings, we're definitely seeing an uptick in suicides and suicide attempts,"
At the heart of these numbers are several issues
Researchers attribute the high suicide attempt rate to two factors: religious discrimination and community stigma — both of which, they say, prevent Muslim American communities from seeking mental health services.
in Allen,Texas Brothers Farhan Towhid, 19, and Tanvir Towhid, 21, both of whom reportedly battled depression, made a pact to die by suicide and kill the rest of their family so they wouldn't have to live with the grief.

There are several very mean things I could say in response to that. “Patience! I’m still accumulating all the Data.”
Wait! You want to commit suicide?! Can you drive a truck?
Commit suicide and then kill the rest of their family so they wouldn’t have to feel the pain?
I think we have zeroed in on why Muslims kill themselves more often: no respect for life.
We can do better...................
Bummer Dude
