why are there islamic terrorists/fundamentalists?

Question

what caused these people to become to enraged with the western world that they are prepared to give their lives for the cause?

Answer 1

They are taught to hate from a very early age.
Everything western is decadent
Everything except islam is to be destroyed
And anyone who isnt sympathetic to their cause is their enemy.

Answer 2

Your question seem to show that you are either refusing to aknowledge the part the west has played to the plight of the Palestinians or probably ignorant. Oppression plays a great part in making people desperate enough to blow themselves up for the sake of religion, so why just ISLAM. Didn't the uk called the Jews terrorist during the Arab - Israel war? The IRA? You would be enraged too if you are wearing their shoes. The lack of justice and fairness is what make them a terrorist though you cannot say that for the majority of Muslims around the world who are not terrorist but are enraged nonetheless.

Answer 3

The more you suppress something , the more harder and stronger it comes around. The west has always played games with the muslim nations , use them for their purpose and throw them away when the purpose is solved . Look at the Iran and Iraq war , recall the Afghanistan conflict. See whats happening in Palenstine?.

The west would go to any extent to save their interests , the stepped into the Iraq and Kuwait conflict in the blink of an eye and yet the refuse to look into what Isreal has been doing and what India has been doing for so long in Kashmir?

The hypocracy of the west has forced a few to point that they are ready to do or die. Constant pleas have had no effect on them .. may be this wil get their attention? The west kills thousands in Iraq , Afghanistan in the name of AQ and yet they dont find OBL and then they install puppet govts in those countries. They didnt even listen to the UN inspectors saying there were no WMDs in Iraq and went ahead with the attack and are still there and killing alot of ppl every day. Doesnt the world see that or has the world lost all of its humanity or is the USA a bully no one can control?

Do you really think its a great thing to poke your noses into some other soveriegn contrys matter and kill them and then say "there were a few mistakes" .. i dont think so .. what goes around comes around.

And at the end , this has nothing to do with religion , its all about the simple fact that you have been oppressing and mal-treating a large section of the human race and some of them are trying to get back with suicide attacks (which are stricktly forbidden in islam). Islam doesnt teach voilence , keep that in mind. Its a religion of peace .. this is more like a war between that haves and have nots. its not really a religion thing.

Answer 4

I think Musyne's answer gives the best illustration of the problem.

A total rant against America and the west on behalf of the Muslim Ummah (which means a global muslim nation), and a number of threats that basically if we dont give them what they want (which is everything) they will terrorise us.

By the way Musyne, Iraq was not a muslim country. It was a secular Baathist state with a government which included Christians.

Most of the killing in Iraq today is Sunni Muslims killing Shi'ite Muslims, so unfortunately like so many other brainwashed religious fanatics you have no idea what is real and what is not.

Answer 5

i am a muslim,i am totaly against terrorisim.i belive in peacefull debate.
remmember,if you havent suffered real hunger ,you will not feel what the hungry really feelsa.yes you will have simpathy for him,but this dosent help him.
now.immagine this.if your lovely sweet kid ,or your mother,or may be all your family are killed right infront of you for simply nothing and in cold blood.if your property is destroyed,if you are humilated everyday,if your sources of livin are cut,if you live always under the fear of death,with no one listining to you,whith no one to complain to.what will you do???.you can be pateint,but patiance has limits,and life with poverity ,without dignity,will mean nothing.at this stage death will be a comforting solution.this will be mixed with revange,and when a human being reaches this stage,he becomes blinde,his thinking will be paralised.and revange will be his aim.it is the most desperate act.
further opression by the name of war against terrorisim will breed more terrorisim.this will turn ionto two types of terrorisim,the authority one(cause it is very difficult to recognise the real terrorist,therefore many innocents will be detained,tautered and may be killed,and that will bread more of real terrorists),and the terrorisim of the oppresed ones.this is pandora box,once it is opened,it will be very difficult to close.what is needed is a wise and just solutions after understanding each other,and that is not practical.

Answer 6

If you country was suddenly invaded, would you not fight to protect your way of life?

I am not a religious person, but in some cases I admire those that are true to their beliefs and will stand up and be counted.

Prior to 911 the US was isolated from the world of terrorism, although was quite happy to dish it out when someone didn't agree with them.

They never had to put up with the IRA's bombing campaigns, but were quite happy to fund them.

One last thing, the last world war started because Germany invaded Poland. The US has invaded Iraq, and shortly most likely Iran as well. and you expect those countries to just sit back and accept it?, would you?.

Answer 7

Religion,whatever religion,was designed by a very clever being or beings,in order to keep the population of the world as low as possible and because of this ther will ALWAYS be conflict in the world.If a Religion is supposed to be peacefull,then why is it the cause of most conflicts around the world ? There is NO excuse for ANY Religion to cause death and destruction.I am not religious,therefore I have no conflict.The only things that are important enough for me to give my life for are my family,which,incidentally,includes my DOG !!

Answer 8

there are terrorists and fundamentalists of all kinds. They are usually an ignorant mass led by a greedy intelligensia for their own gain. People in poverty often feel lost and confused and young people are looking for security which these groups seem to offer. It is a part of all of us really and any of us could become one in the right set of circumstances and mind set. I prefer to be a militant pacifist but my mum won't let me!

Answer 9

It is injustice to call these people terrorist. I have to make you clear about this. These people are fighting for thier rights, their freedom. Their countries are being invaded by outsiders, their houses, schools, mosques, and others are being stormed by a heavy bombs. In numerous among them are killed, in fact in hundred of thousands, which are really innocents. Up to now there is no single proved reason for the invasion and bombardments of their environments.

Iraq in particular was invaded by the United States (so called democratic and civilized as their devil leaders said). The reason given for invading Iraq was that, Saddam Hussein has the Weapons of Mass Destruction. And was said that there are evidences that prove to them that he posses there WMD. But unfortunately when Iraq was invaded, and Saddam Hussein was stoppled, neither a weapon not even a sign was found.

Imagine it is your country and your people that are being killed like insects (as it happened in many places more especially in Haditha), and your country possess large volume of petroleum, and being staled, you are denied your rights, your religion is not respected. And yet your are not lived alone. The massive killings had not stopped. Please what will you do?

If insurgency is terrorism, what would you call what Israel is previously and presently doing to Palestinians? I know it is more than terrorism. It is genocide.

In fact America is the BIGGEST ENERMEY to Islam and Muslim Ummah. As muslims are being killed by Americans, Americans must accept the response as it come to them. The creator of Terrorism (America) must pay the price for what she have been doing.

History will never forgive United States for the unjust waging wars. Look at what happened in Hiroshima and Nagazaki, My Lai, Haditha. In the history of the world, there is no any country that committed this offence to humanity.

Americans MUST SUFFER as they make other people suffer.

The insurgengs, terrorists or whatever they are called must work harder to protec their lives even if they are going to fight to the end of their lives. Even if they and they families are to be killed. They must fightback the unjust aggression from outsiders.

There is only one way that United States can follow to prevent terrorism. To allow Muslim Ummah their rights, to stop waging wars against Islam and saying that it is a war against terrorism. To stop supporting Isreal. To allow Muslim countries enrich urenui and posses nuclear weapons as it possess.

That is the way

Answer 10

There are people who have balance in life and then there are the extremists..Im married to a Muslim and what is being done is totally agains their religion..It is also the fact we have so much here and they are oppressed..I guess ahatred based on jealousy..Nothing to do with Allah or God really.. Possibly Martyrdom which is a sin in the Quran
