The Muslim mind only cares about Jihad. Their own deaths are but another chapter in the multi-century old fight to convert the entire world to Islam. They don't care so much if they die as long as Israel goes first. This is particularly true with many of the clerics who have great enfluences over the masses.
The Muslim body has a different view of life versus death as was proven in Desert Storm when Olympic sprint records were shattered by thousands of Iraqi soldiers racing to surrender to the nearest reporter or camera man.
Cleric influence over the masses? Oh you mean like the Taliban influence over the masses in Kabul? Gee what ever happen to that influence? LOL! It doesn't exist when the guns are taken away from the clerics.
