Why is it terrorists are suicide bombing? What is it really that they are fighting for?

Question

Is it that their religeon says that you have to kill to go to heaven.
Is it they are jealous of americans
Is it because they want the whole world to be muslims
Is it because American people are doing something wrong
Is it just because they are ordered to do so by high ranking officials?



Whats their real purpose?
Would a person just strap themselves and kill themself?

Answer 1

1) Palestinians to take over Israel
2) Non-Muslim countries troops to leave Muslim land

Their justification for using terror tactics is there is no way they can face the West or Israel toe-to-toe militarily. So they must use other more noticeable means.

Answer 2

Suicide bombers are killing in the misguided belief that they are killing the enemies of Islam. The fact that they die is a necessary sacrifice.
In order to be successful, the bomb must go off and kill the enemy. A suicide bomber who was captured or killed before his bomb detonated would be a failure.
In his 1996 Fatwa declaring war on the US, Osama bin Laden quotes a hadith passage (Muhammad’s words and deeds outside of the Quran) that has the prophet describing heaven for the martyrs fallen in a holy war. The first moment blood gushes, they are guaranteed Islamic heaven. They receive crowns, jewels, and seventy-two dark-eyed houris or beautiful maidens, for each martyr.
Unfortunately, suicide bombing is a very effective weapon. A lot of these movements, whether its Hezbollah or the insurrection, doesn't have the firepower to take on First World countries in the West head on. It is much more effective to send a suicide bomber to cause destruction where the enemy is least prepared. The other value of a suicide bomber is that by attacking civilians, it creates the atmosphere that people are not safe anywhere.

Why do people continually volunteer to give their lives? This is a complex question, but it is usually tied to economic poverty, hopelessness, or someone with low self-worth buying into this easy answer. Its the same reason people join cults, gangs, mobs - looking for a sense of belonging, feeling of importance, and striking against the Evil of the world - in this case, the US, Europe and Israel, along with the countries in the Middle East which have "abandoned" the true message of Allah and Muhammed.

Answer 3

They say that they are dying for their God and that is what their God told them to do.

If you ask me they are listening to the voice of satan. And yes, they are very jealous and they want everyone to be Musslim. They ae not only jealous of Americans, they are jealous of anybody that has more freedom than them. Look at the situation in Isreal. They cannot except the fact that everyone is not a Musslim.

ALSO...THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEBER IS THAT ALL OF THIS IS PROPHICIED IN THE BIBLE AS SIGNS OF THE END OF THE WORLD.

take away jobs,put religion in political affairs,make it hard to go from poor to middle class or even rich,only to simple minded individuals do they pray upon,maybe the ones who cant read,no holy book tells you to go out and take Innocent lives,and just like racism it all starts with the parents or teachers,someone telling them their whole life to hate,they blame all their problems on other people other governments,this is a good example of why you separate church and state.

Answer 5

it is as though they are brain washed & the human life has no value. they only follow 1 or 2 men, who tell them such. they are very misinformed.
but no where among these religions(true Islam) ---does it say to take another life for God. He can do that himself ,if He chooses. all humans are of value in God's eyes. He is not partial to just one nation. therefore we should not be.
they have disreguard for Jews or any who support them.
