You haven't known any fundamentalist plug in your favorite religion here. I have.
They'll do that in a heartbeat.

The only recent "fundamentalist" movements I can think of (and I'm
thinking of the past several hundred to thousand years) that has shown
it is capable of mass murder/suicide have been certain strains of
radical Islam.

The last suicidally religious group I can think of would have been the
2nd Century Martyrs of early Christianity, and even they didn't take
innocents with them to death. Everyone else I can think of fielded
people who were willing to be killed for their faith, but only after
putting up a vigorous fight.

So I don't agree fundamentalists from plug in your favorite religion
will "do that in a heartbeat." Can you prove me wrong?
