Suice bombers aren't cowards, but are in fact just opposite, do you say otherwise?

Question

Suicide bombers (whether it be japanese, american, or an islmist extremist) they are willing to take there own life for what they believe in. The fact that they take innocent lives at the same time doesnt make them any less of a coward. It just shows a lack of moral judgment, however labeling them as cowards is the wrong label.

Some people are forgetting the fact that innocent people are killed in all wars. And the fact that suicide bombers, specifically islamic extremists, are brought up to conduct war in such a way, therefor you cant actually label them as cowards. Your labeling them in tearms of how you yourself see this world. The perfect answer will include a purely objective answer, with a non-millitarialistic motive.

Only 5 answers so far actually meet the criteria of the question.

It strikes me how some people would rather critique my spelling mistakes than actually answer the question.

Answer 1

i think it is more of what they believe in that makes them kill other innocent lives. they have been made to believe that if they do such actions, their lives will be saved from hell.. Some people engaged in this type of activity due to lack of moral and spiritual guide from their friends/family. If only there would be someone who will take the time to extend their arms to these people.. Until then, world peace may not be attained..

Answer 2

WTF are Suice bombers?


It is easy to spot uneducated people by their spelling mistakes. There really is no reason to have spelling mistakes because of all the free tools available.

That said, the doctor in New York City that just blew up an apartment building because of a divorce must be a real hero.
Also anyone who commits suicide instead of dealing with life's problems are also heroes. Maybe we should erect statues celebrating them.

Answer 3

There are inaccuracies in your statement and I believe they prevent you from making a good, logical argument. Kamikaze pilots, for example, were in the armed service of a recognized nation-state and attacked military targets. That is clearly different from suicide bombers who are not soldiers--and they clearly can join national armed forces but choose not to--and single out civilian targets outside of the arena of war. During the Vietnamese war, there were Buddhist monks who immolated themselves in protest. Those guys really did sacrifice their individual lives for a greater good, and harmed nobody else in the process. Suicide bombers are basically just murdering women and children, which is not what any god would ask of his or her people, and they are choosing destruction and annihilation over construction and progress. The truly brave people are the ones who fight to build governments and struggle to achieve compromise amongst extremists--and their courage is exemplified by the fact that they are usually targets of terrorists and assassins. They choose to use their lives to make the world a better place even as they risk death to win safety and security for their people. Suicide bombers are just dumb kids manipulated by thuggish leaders who make tons of money double-dealing and personally risk nothing. Those are the accurate statements.

Answer 4

You assume that they are not coerced into believing what they are dying for.

Sometimes suicide bombers are forced to do so.

Others are deftly manipulated into believing views, or are basically bribed with promises... like the 72 virgins or whatever, or the promise of the fame of martyrdom in islam.

Others are not in a clear state of mind when they do so, or decide to do so. Its not as simple as you would make it seem.

Answer 5

They are cowards, and fools. BTW, what american suicide bombers? What Japanese suicide bombers? I've only seen Islamic Fascist HOMOCIDE bombers. Yeah thats right, they kill others too, dont forget that.

Answer 6

They are brain washed. Some die for their country or other causes. A coward person will not risk his life. It is bravery if it is done in course of war declared by their Government otherwise it is a criminal act. Certain groups who have been denied their political rights, will resort to violence if they are not listened. United Nation can do much to help them.

Answer 7

you're an idiot, they are cowards because if they really wanted to fight for a cause they'd take the time to do it...killing yourself and others is just going to bring more hate to the world, suicide bombers only make things worse for their cause

Answer 8

I agree. However I think the proper term would be stupid.

They do not seem to understand that killing themselves cuts the amount of work they could do and thus the amount of progress they could make had they lived their full lives.

So I believe that stupid would be a proper term.

Well either stupid or just plain crazy.

Oh and I talked to their god the other day. He is not happy with them.

Answer 9

Yes I agree. They are not cowards

They are idiots. Just like you.

You are not only an idiot, you are also a spelling bee champ. And you're ugly.

Not a good combination.

So go ahead and put on your self-tailored " Suice " vest and pull the pin.

It's good to see idiots thin out their own herds.

Answer 10

Is it brave to take the lives of innocent civilians and commit suicide? Yes it is, of course it is, if you are an insane islamic! Suicide is comdemed in my Christian faith as an unforgivable Sin.
It is the act of a coward to kill themselves, and for them to take innocents (noncombatatants) it is monsterous.
They also should not come to Christian countries, they don't fit in and they're not welcome.
