how can they be cowards?

Question

although I dont agree with terrorism. how can anyone call a suicide bomber a coward or the act of blowing ones self up for your beliefs an act of cowardice

ps. save all the killing of innocents etc we vote for our leaders. how many civilians have western bombs killed the last 5 years?

Answer 1

I think the word cowards is pointed more at the act that at the person, It takes a lot to be willing to die, however I believe it is the fact that they don't fight face to face, a sucide bomb is like shoting someone in the back they don't have a chase to fight back.

Answer 2

They are cowards. The problem with the argument that they aren't cowards because they kill themselves is that the people making this argument are applying their own apprehension towards death on the suicide bombers. However, these bombers are "Martyring" themselves to be awarded in the afterlife. They believe that by killing themselves they can gain "paradise" quicker and not have to spend as much time down here on the imperfect Earth. In other words, within their demented views death is better than life because of the reward they will receive upon a martyr's death, thus, they are CERTAINLY cowards.

Answer 3

They are cowards because they take innocent lives without first knowing who they will kill, do you think they would do it if they knew a relative was on a train or a bus or a plane, do you think they would talk to the people first who they were going to blow up so they can find out why a stranger wants to kill them and then do you think the strangers would let them, Bloody No, thats why they are cowards, not heroes. ask a Muslim to name 5 Martyrs they can't.

Answer 4

The amount of civilians western bombs have killed is irrelevant. I dont know where you heard that they are cowards theyre nething but that id say something more along the lines of insane or mental theyre no better than the kamikaze pilots of WW2.

Answer 5

Some, including women and children, have been forced to act as suicide bombers under the threat of having their loved ones murdered by the terrorists.

Answer 6

No they are not cowards.

If they have legitimate reason to get back at occupiers or people who have killed their loved ones, then it is understandable. Killing themselves in the process of killing others is more courageous then sending in troops to do the killing for you.

Answer 7

they are cowards. its the same as someone who commits suicide for any other reason. a person who sits in his room and takes his own life because his girlfriend left him..is that bravery because he killed himself. It does not take courage to end your own life, it takes courage to stand up in a crowd and be unique and not just be a pawn for what Bin Laden, the ultimate coward tells you. Courage is having a mind of your own... terrorists dont!!

Answer 8

killing oneself is being a coward and is very selfish. they only think of hurting their selves and taking out as many people as they can. they don't care what it will do to their family or their victims family. Yes they are all cowards and they will all burn in hell. For their actions. be a man and fight for what you believe in or for your cause don't strap a bomb on to yourself and blow everyone up who happens to be around you. See they can't stand up for what they believe in they are to busy finding the busiest stop to blow up. Yeah they are the real men .

Answer 9

They are cowards because they are too afraid to think for themselves.
They allow themselves to be brainwashed without considering how many of their 'holy' leaders ever commit suicide bombing themselves and why.
They act like drones to someone else's orders instead of taking responsibility for their own actions.


Can't work out what you mean by your p.s.

Answer 10

A real man wouldn't attack civilians. Period. Suicide bombers are cowards because they are too chickenshit to stick to military targets, and have to resort to attacking civilians.
