Totally agree 4W. I just wonder how much of this sort of 'protest' is a cultural thing (not just an Islamic Martyr polemic, but as a-way-of-getting-things-done). And that will probably be harder to overcome, that it's not just fuelled by desperation, but by an acceptance that it's the normal thing to do.

I'm reminded of the time I was in India during the Miss World competition and the women protesting there by self-immolation. A horrifying way to protest, which I don't believe was fuelled by an it's the only way, but more becuase it's seen as the way to get things done. could be totally wrong of course. I just don't understand how/why ppl could do that under any circumstances and I'm struggling to get a handle on their mindsets.
