Well, to be completely fair, many non-Muslim men kill their wives.

That said, one of the most appalling features of Islam to me is the lack of love and forgiveness for their own family members. There was recently a feature on America's Most Wanted where a Muslim man killed his two daughters because they had been dating.

And many of the suicide bombers worldwide have been very young men (some women as well), often teenagers, whose families knew and even endorsed the bombings.

In my opinion that is as low as you can get. If I felt by principle that I must kill my enemy, I would use myself as a suicide bomber, not send one of my young children to their death. This is as cowardly as you can possibly get.

I have always believed that if the media worldwide could focus on this cowardly act, it might actually make a difference. If the whole world were to call these extremists the cowards they truly are, they might be shamed into stopping these horrible crimes.
