9/11 terrorists and suicide bombers: sincerity and sacrifice do not validate a belief system

If all roads lead to God, the 9/11 hijackers succeeded — they believed they would receive virgins in a paradise garden. Winger cites the Institute for National Security Studies: in 2018 alone there were 293 suicide attacks in 21 countries, killing 1,932 and wounding 3,374. These are not isolated events. Affirming "all roads lead to God" means you cannot complain about any of it. Additionally, affirming that Buddhism leads to God is insulting to Buddhism, which denies a personal God and seeks cessation of existence (nirvana as annihilation), not union with God.
