what do terrorists expect to get out of blowing up a plane?

Question

I understand that they think when they get to the after-life they get "reworded" but what is the goal on earth?Why can't they just comunicat with someone, the only thing they acheive is death and hate,

Answer 1

70 Virgins.... each

Answer 2

The "reword" in the after-life is plenty justification. So many people are living their lives here just in anticipation for the possibility of an afterlife, which is supposed to be eternal. It doesn't matter what happens on Earth; if you go to the good place, you don't care one way of the other.

Answer 3

Terrorists are the kind of people that have gone beyond reason and communication in their choices, and are indoctrinated by those who sponsor or train them to believe in death as the entrance to rewards in the afterlife given for committing acts of mass destruction. They in their own perverted way have come to revel in the thought of inflicting violence on others. Their leaders will seek the most terrifying means of doing that available to strike fear into governments and to use terror as their means of persuasion (hence the term 'terrorists'). Certainly blowing up or crashing something as big as an airliner is a terrifying way to inflict mass murder.

Answer 4

why does bush start war with a country for no aparent reason? and is still there,,, its life i guess,, iraq didnt do that to new york so why? i dont think they thought they would get reworded in the after life,, i think it was set up in some way,, i heard that this was predicted before it ever happened, and it could of been prevented, im a musslim, and i know you dont go to heaven by doing these bad things, the attack gave muslims a bad name all over the world, it is not in our religion to do stuff like that,, if we are in war we are aloud to fight in the name of god, same thing goes for everyone,

Answer 5

That is what I asked and tried to figure out for months.
Put up a question just for Muslims thought maybe they would know i got a fire storm of hate answers.
So I will give you one nice one. Nobody knows, They don't even know what they want. The world to convert to the Muslims faith?
But I think it is like dead to everybody but us.
If anyone has an answer i am anxious to see it.

Answer 6

Sure, that's easy for us to think. This is what they've been taught ALL THEIR LIVES. They aren't trying to acheive hate and death, they are only trying to get the after-life they're told they'll get if they do this.

Answer 7

They are sending the message that they refuse to assimilate to the expansionism of the west.

In Colonial times, those who revolted against England were known as Traitors to England ... Patriots, to the Colonists.

Native Americans got the name Savage, for refusing to assimolate to the ways of the of the Colonists.

What do they gain? Their Freedom of individuality ... which they had before expansionism arrived.

Answer 8

Attention.

Answer 9

there is so much stupidity and blindness in this world
and the loving and caring God we have will not tell someone to go and kill someone else or a whole group of people to get into heaven
too many religious fanatics

Answer 10

That's why we call them terrorists. They want to cause terror. They think Satan has taken over the world. By killing as many people as they can they will rid the world of evil and make Allah happy. Basically, they are insane.

Answer 11

I think since they are so far behind in the times, they believe that the big flying birds (airplanes as us westerners know them) are evil! they just don't want evil things flying around in the sky, it's common of many cultures that wear towels on thier heads.
