Like I mentioned to analog in the post above yours, the Atlantic was exploring Muslim suicide attacks (which were rare pre-1983). The culture of suicide in Japan has of course been documented for centuries, but the Koran's teaching of the shameful nature of suicide has only been corrupted for the last 20-odd years.

So, no, in the context of Muslim suicide attacks (which is what the article, which of course you read, explored), the Atlantic is not wrong.
