Q. People in the Middle Ages who went on the Crusades were often prepared to give up their lives for a cause they believed in. Are there any modern day issues which inspire people to act like this? Explain.

A. Some Muslim people attach a bomb to themselves and set it off in a car, a building or in a plane. They do this in belief that Allah will then make the world a better place if they sacrifice themselves. Take 9/11 for example. Not only was it an act of terrorism, it was also an act of religion, for studies have found the hijackers and found that they all come from Muslim countries. Undoubtedly religion had something to do with all this.
