This massacre was carried out by a 22 year old FEMALE, how could one so young carry out such a crime, especially a female?
What do these maniacs want, that will stop them carrying out these riots and killings?
Surely they have now made the point that they are upset over the insults to Mohammed?

Well...
in the last war, British 22 year olds (males) went out to cause 'carnage' to men, women and children knowing that they themselves had a slim chance of surviving. In fact, I believe Bomber Command had one of the highest rate of losses in the war.
However, they did so for what they believed to be a greater good.
Somehow, these suicide bombers believe something the same.
Obviously, it is difficult to understand what 'greater good' could justify these attrocities as we have a totally different set of Values and Beliefs.
As long as their Values and Beliefs are held by people then these attrocities will continue.

em,
Yes, we can all sometimes find levity in these situations given the fact that there have been hundreds of them in the past decade, and if we were all to go around in Purdah we'd be at the proverbial Wailing Wall for evermore.
Believe it or not, life does have to go on for the rest of us, and the difference between this incident and Manchester yesterday is the fact that the Afghani incident is not only commonplace, it's a long way from here despite our obvious concerns for our own troops - but the Manchester outrage is a rarely occurring tragedy - and it's in our own back yard.
So I think that the vast majority of Brits, whilst feeling great sadness about the two women brutally murdered yesterday, would just shrug their shoulders about the female bomber incident and say "Not again?".

"it's amazing that some can find levity in this situation, how many were killed by these woman?"
Em, I worked in casualty in the Eighties when Northern Ireland was tearing itself apart and the "works" or the UVF, IRA, UDA and INLA were at their worst. We often had bits of people brought in by ambulance and I lifted a man off a trolley one night only for his brains to slide out of the hole in his head, (inflicted by a breeze block,) and onto the floor.
A strange black humour was our way of coping, and I'll wager that you will find this anywhere people deal with death. As Kerosene points out, you can't spend all your life in Purdah, and it was a release for us as much as anything else. That and the drinking.
