The more recent analysis I’ve read says that people pretty much become suicide bombers for nationalist reasons, not religious reasons.
I suppose that “There should not be American bases on the sacred soil of Saudi Arabia” is a hybrid of the two, and so might be “I wanted to kill because Muslims were being hurt”—it’s a matter of group identity more than “Allah wants it”.

I don’t have specifics for the 9/11 bombers.
