Would there be suicide bombers if no-one believed in an afterlife?

Answer 1

probably

there are many people who commint suicide who don't believe in an afterlife

there have also always been people willing to die to protect others (especially family members) even though they did not believe in an afterlife

and finally, many people that claim belief in an afterlife, don't really believe

so, I think the answer is yes, there would be

Answer 2

Suicide bombers are the two desperate people or youthful boys that were thoughts washed claiming that this is what the religion says on the same time because it thoroughly say the different element. As they're doing in the midsection east or different Muslim united states's Pretending that Islam says that on the same time as this isn't any longer actual. i'm hoping sometime this stupidity will come to end.

Answer 3

Very stimulating question and is actually logical, however, the answer could only be hypothetical in nature. I can see what you're driving at and most probably there wouldn't be for there will be no paradise with rivers of wine and 72 virgins.

Answer 4

Probably. Any Muslim knows that the whole "rewarded by Allah" thing isn't in the Koran. The Hadiths of Muhammad contain that information.

People are equally willing to devote themselves to an ideal.

Answer 5

Maybe they need to communicate with some of those
suicide bombers. I'm sure they would tell their brothers of
the wastefulness of such actions.

Answer 6

Not necessarily, radicals would find another reason I'm sure since the reasons they list were fabricated by an illiterate in the 5th century B.C. and are not congruent with God's word.

Answer 7

I think so. The people that blow themselves up are very brainwashed. Also usually their parents are paid a substantial amount of money for the life of their child. Some people just place no value on life.

Answer 8

bombers are not a religion cause..it is caused of powerfull harms on nations...
like me,if some one who has all kind of weapons & he is killing all my people & on top of that he killed my family & my children,& i have only knife & materials to make a bomb,what should i do after loosing all?& i am serrounded,no place to go...i will make a bomb around me & go & kill him...not to show i am a hero..but if i dont do that he will kill me also & kill more ppl..so let me kill him & i will die better than given him the chance to kill me & more ppl..i am deing in all ways,& ppl like him will know that if i dont have anything i can still defend for ma ppl...
i dont care what is after life...i told u i am deing in all ways...so i dei with him..not alone
; )
u will do the same if it came to u...unlless u dont care about ur pple

Answer 9

I think people would still feel just as strongly about their causes and take such an extreme measure as to use their body as a way to bring their side closer to a victory.

Answer 10

here is the irony. would there be suicide-bombers if they were not promised 72 virgins in paradise?
