Do you ever wonder why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide?

Cute--good point!

I think you are missing the point here. People (in any society)usually commit suicide when they feel that death (or what comes after that, if they believe in an afterlife) is preferable to the life they lead. Reasons for suicide are often depression, failure, rejection, loss of love, loss of status and prestige, financial difficulties, or just being fed-up with life.

They idea of suicide fighters (or suicide bombers in recent times) is not limited to Islam. In fact it only was adopted by Muslim in the late 19th century. The idea behind is to give oneself and all one is and has for a cause worth the sacrifice.

It is very similar to ancient temple sacrifices, where often noble men and women were killed ritually, apparently for the better of their people.

There is a falsehood in Muslim teaching that one who has lost his life in the cause of Allah goes straight to the 7th Heaven and will be welcomed there by 72 virgins. Suicide bombings actually do not qualify theologically for 7th Heaven, and the idea of virgins is vvery often misunderstood. They are symbolic for a hero's welcome in the ancient sense, and have nothing to do with any carnal desire.

In my opinion the main reason for modern suicide bombers is the absolute hopelessness of their cause, their life and their living condions. When a person reaches the point that they hate some person, country or institution more than they love their own life, it is strictly speaking a case of mental illness. But if the person is not seeking help from a psychiatrist, there is nothing one can do.

By the way, looking at your list I get the impression that you want to be funny. Unfortunately you come across rather arrogant and very ignorant. I suggest that you spend some months travelling in the Middle East and getting to know the people and their living conditions. And I would also like to remind you that some Arabian cities had tap water and street lighting a thousand years ago, at a time when Europeans lived in mud huts, and America was not more than a great wilderness, sparsely occupied by Nomads.

P.S. All the things you listed with the word "no" in front are also things that I do not have or indulge in, voluntarily and by using my own free will. I am neither Arab, nor Muslim, nor do I feel I miss anything. In fact I am a happy man in Europe, living a very full and healthy life.

You sound very misinformed.

Do you even know the first thing about Muslims..? Have you ever lived with a Muslim family in their native land..? I think NOT!

.

Actually strapping bombs to themselves is a very brave thing to do especially if the United States of Amerika is trying to steal your oil, you ignorant piece of ****.

Don't forget, they love their camels!

The Muslim population has a very high rate of incest.

Oh look the fascists are calling people racist! LOLROTF

No I think their religion is more strict than say Christianity. They're very loyal to their cause obviously.

It's the 72 virgins.

After years of bowing down to Mecca and taking it dogie style Suicide is a welcome relief.

You forgot to mention that they live in countries ruled by despotic religeous fanatics in absoulute poverty with no hope of a better life.

reported. dont be stupid and racist. whoever agrees with him is an idiot.

dont make assumption if you dont know what you are talking about, it look make u look like a shallow idiot.

it is not the matter of x or y terrorist who are so quick to commit suicide. It is 'TERRORIST' that makes them suicide.

Not quick enough by my standard.
