I think you are attributing too much rationality to the hijackers. People are not born to be suicide bombers, they are made to be suicide bombers.  And that has nothing to do with their "normal" life or what they enjoy or don't enjoy. They did not have to loath Americans or themselves. They just had to be drugged, hypnotized and "programmed". There is no rationality for their acts. There is hardly any rationality for the guys behind them who masterminded it -- but I doubt that any of them went down with the planes.

The hijackers lived here in the United States, some for many years.
That's what has got some Americans so upset.  That they drank (!!) in
American bars, worked out at the local gym (my son's, by coincidence),
shopped in the grocery store, enjoyed the freedoms that this country
offered them. Very un-Islamic. And yet were so filled with hate of it -
and of themselves for enjoying it - that they were wiling to die trying
to destroy it. Some have said they must have been overflowing with
self-loathing and self-hate for the 'filth" that they were experiencing.
They've been compared to guys who hire hookers, and enjoy sicko stuff,
and then beat her to death out of disgust.

Now it's 4:06 am. I'm freezing and my eyes are sticking together. I'll
answer the rest tomorrow.
