Argument:  The “religious” martyrdom of the Sept 11 terrorists –some well-educated and “spoiled” -- is particularly sinister.  We’ve seem this before – Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, the Japanese subway attacks.  Ironically, fundamentalist Islam maintains that God ordains that some people are superior to others, yet religious ideology seems to target Western-style “meritocracy.”

Counterargument Code: b1601
