why do people become terrorists?

Question

what makes them become terrorists, how can you be that sick in the mind.

Answer 1

Here's why:

The Middle East will remain in a Dark Age until they set themselves free of a belief system that enslaves half their population and allows them to think that they can murder, annihilate, the rest of the world. What will set them back even further is the coming end of their oil reserves and or the development of alternative fuels in the West.

If Western civilization doesn't get tough on "Islamism" and either send them home or worse, all of us will suffer the consequences of what can only be called a racial and religious war against us that will drag us into the darkest of ages, blacker than the robes that they swaddle their women in. I ,for one, would rather die than be converted by a sword at my neck to any belief system. I will fight, my family will fight--join us now--call for the return of Muslims to their own countries. Withdraw their citizenship and send them, as well as those who have converted to their murderous system, back to their own lands.

Here is what they believe:

Political Correctness is the Incubator of Islamism
by Amil Imani

14 Feb, 2007

Time and again we are told by the politically correct “experts” not to worry about Islam posing a threat to our way of life. We are repeatedly lectured that only a very small minority of Muslims are troublemakers who are giving the peaceful masses of Muslims a bad name. We are also informed that the terrorists, who happened to be Muslims, are the disaffected and the young. And not to worry, since as the fire of youth turns to ashes of old age the rebellious will mellow, as they always have.
With heavy assurances like this, coming from so many know-it-all authoritative figures, we can sleep soundly without the aid of sleeping pills. After all, people reason that these pundits are “experts” whose job is to know and tell it like it is. Those who voice contrary views must be a bunch of racist, alarmist hate mongers. Who is right?

Wouldn’t be more prudent to let the facts settle the matter, rather than blindly accepting either position? Of course it would, except for one huge problem. In the face of threats, people tend to go to the mind’s medicine cabinet and take a few denial and rationalization pills, in the same way that it is the aspirin bottle they turn to when a headache strikes. Why not? We are the Easy Species. We love effortless, quick and simple solutions. And that’s not invariably bad. It has given us all kinds of labor and time saving devices.

Yet, the Islam problem is very real and deadly. Neither the pronouncements of the experts, nor the tranquilizing pills of the mind can make it go away. It is here and it shows every sign of imposing itself on us.

Europe is already badly infected with Islamism. It is the coal-miners’ canary. It is telling us that the next stop is America. We must act and act now. We must not sacrifice our cherished way of life and the lives of our children at the altar of political correctness: the incubator of Islamofascism

Answer 2

Because they are desperate, as well as ill informed and brainwashed. Nobody ever looks at "the other side". They only look at things from a point of view that they know...THEIR point of view. So the "educated and aware" can be just as ignorant as the totally ignorant of the opposite extreme.

Picture a life with no tv, no radio, no media. Then picture a life where everyone around you is being killed by someone evil, stealing your food, raping your mother or sister, killing your father or brother.

Picture being hungry and thirsty all the time....picture them finding some hope for a better world through some god of religion. Insane or sick minded? Who wouldn't be?

Then picture someone coming to them and putting a gun in their hand and saying let's fight them off, our reward will not be in this world but the next.

What do you really think these people have to lose when they have nothing at all in the first place?

This is why war doesn't work. And why people need to go there with peace and goodwill and show compassion and understanding. Only then can you take these minds and turn them around and lead them and show them there is a better way. But even then, you should only help them to help themselves. You do not have a right to overtake thier land or change their beliefs, the only thing that ever sustained their existence.

Yes you must end and ward off the corruption too, but you must start with the people of the homeland so that they can be self sufficient and learn to sustain themselves.

All war does is put further terror into these people and push them in the wrong direction--to fight for the wrong cause.

That's how I see it.

Answer 3

Why Do People Become Terrorists

Answer 4

you are right joe. these people are indeed sick, but even more so is the sickened society in which they grow up. they learn hatred at an early age in these countries. They have leaders in their religion who preach violence and hatred and teach them that they can become heroes if they kill. They then travel to our countries and hate the very freedom from which they benefit and thrive. We are in a real war of good v. evil. In this century at this time the philosophy of the Christians and to some extent the Jews and Budhists and those who lead them like the Pope are the good guys who preach love and tolerance. It remains to be seen whether the decent Moslems can change their leadership and transform their religion into one of peace. I hope so.

Answer 5

Because they don't have enough money, Then they steal it. Or when someone that's already a terrorist says to that X person that a terrorist has got the best life or something else.
But, that are all lies. There are terrorists that have mental problems. That sick people... I hope that I aswered your question... but it makes me so sad...

Answer 6

It's simple, these people feel they are getting screwed over
by great powers they can't hope to fight back fairly so they
attack in the way that gets the most results for their efforts.
P.S. imagine your country was overun by arrogant ***hole
invaders who have shelled your village, blown up the factory where you used to work, bombed the school your children were in,killing them , and your wife was gunned down on her
way to the market, because she didn't understand "halt or
i'll shoot " now you truly have nothing left to live for but if you
picked up a gun the first marine squad would kill you. SO
you join the resistance, pack your body with explosives and
walk in to the cafeteria sit down, and at the right moment
you kill off 90 of those miserable son's of satan.

Answer 7

Hatred begets hatred. Bias begets bias. Prejudice begets prejudice. Bigotry begets bigotry.
Hitler's propagandists convinced many otherwise-intelligent Germans that it was 'acceptable' to confiscate Jews' homes, steal their property, and ship them off to concentration camps to eventually be gassed.
America's conservative-biased media darlings, such as Ann Coulture, Shawn Hannity and Rush Limbaugh are the propagandists who will eventually persuade a preponderance of otherwise-intelligent Americans that it's 'acceptable' to hate liberals, denounce anyone who disagrees with their conservative agenda, and - eventually - torture or kill those who don't 'tow the line' and follow the dictates of conservative capitalists, war-mongers, oil barons, war profiteers, and Republican politicians. -RKO- 07/07/07

Answer 8

It's a strong feeling of hatred due to any reason. Then, people start enjoying violence and it becomes sort of habit or second nature to them.

Answer 9

Becuase they are very closed minded. they can't accept the fact that others may have differnt values and beliefs. It stirs up anger and hatred, and they feel they need to force others to accept their way of thinking

Answer 10

Most are taught from birth to hate.


LMAO!!! RKO has it all figured out. Its because of conservatives!
What a vivid imagination he has, and it's totally backward, just like Liberals tend to do.
