Sucide bombing-Facts and Myths
There is an intresting research results listed on Science Blog about reasons behind sucide bombing.From the article.
By examining statements made by bombers, their families or representatives from organizations they claimed to be working for, the authors found that attacks were not generally governed by a strategic logic, as is often believed to be the case, but were motivated by a desire for revenge. By examining events that preceded each specific attack, they found that particular Israeli actions such as killings prompted most attacks. “For the most part,” they write, bombers “gave up their lives to avenge the killing of a close relative, as retribution for specific attacks against the Palestinian people or as payback for perceived attacks against Islam.”
Important paragraph:
This suicide bombing campaign simply isn’t working in the sense that the Palestinians are not realizing any strategic gains as a result, says Brym. On the other side of the conflict, he says, “Israeli acts of oppression are also counter-productive. If you go out and engage in a targeted killing, as the Israeli security services often do, that can result in more suicide bombings taking place — which in turn results in more targeted killings. There’s a macabre dance taking place.
I have been preaching on every forum for years that there is no relation of sucide bombing with Islam or 72 virgins promised by God.As its mentioned in the research that the main motive behind such cruel and desprate act is to take revenge,to kill the “enemy” which is zions offcourse who occupied the land by imposing lame biblic theories which dont exist at all.If sucide bombing is part of Islam then I would have killed myself by now.
How would you react if someone occupies your home for days.Will you run to refer Quran,Bible or Geeta to find out procuderes to kick *enemy* out? OR you will think to apply certain tactics to kick the person out of your home and save family.What if that person kill your wife or your only beloved son?will you start doing politics or will wait for your neighbors to save you?when someone loved one is killed,you will loose your senses,believe me.Dont we cry wild when our loved one die?So how that pain is more severe than tha pain which you suffer after killing of your loved ones.One could advise for patience and calm.Ok,fine but doesnt that person have right to take any step to save rest of his family?
When WTC was attacked by planes,America destroyed two countries in reaction because their homeland was attacked by their enemies.So only US has right to fight against enemies?In this way every american soldier who destroyed iraq and afghanistan to save his homeland is a Jihadi because He struggled to save his homeland.I am always labeled pro-terrorism by most of non-muslims on different forums because I preach tthat they use their bodies as *weapon* to kill enemies because they have not been equipped with guns and missiles.Take every weapon from the american army in iraq and i will see how do they fight against their enemies.It is so unfair that Isralities can keep weapons but not palestinians?is this really a fair war?uh?
By the way sucide bombing is not an Islamic product?it was introduced by tamils in India long time back and they used similar tactic to kil rajev gandhi,the PM of India.So were they muslims?or were they jihadists who were promised to be rewarded 72 virgins in Paradise?
I wonder why christians and jews extreemist forget that they are not following a religion which is perfect.I can comeup various verses from OT which justifies killing of muslims in Palestine.I am not claiming that bible orders to kill *muslim infidels*,its just misinterpetition about Quran and Bible due to lack of understanding.Hypocricy rules.For me there is no difference between Pat Robertson,Ann coulter and Aimen Zaharwi .These people always gave wrong image of Christianity and Islam to outerworld and sad part is that many people actually believe in such morons.As long as west dont quit hypocricy,nothing better will come out.If you think such tactics really remove Islam from face of earth then i bet you are living in foolds paradise.

why duh?i think revenge factor matters since their land has been taken away and they are weaponless and they would try their best to take their land back.

HomoSapiens are a specis of social animals and when confronted as any animal they will respond violently. I dont think we need any research on that. If I slap you you will definitly bounce back to me. Even a simple abuse can result in a violent action. So it makes sense that suicide bombers are not doing anything for Islam or Hinduism or Any other religion, they are just taking revenge. Am an atheist but I am sure no religion says kill humans. Atleast in hinduism there is no such chapter on killing.
