Is a suicide bombing an act of cowardice or great bravery for a cause?

Answer 1

I met a Palestinian and ask him the same question, he said: "When you have nothing and what you did have was taken away by some people with guns and a ferocity that frightens the bravest of men, much less little children, The choice is easy because it is the only way to strike back."
Personally; I think it is the most extreme act desperation one can do.

Answer 2

It isn't suicide bombing, it's HOMICIDE bombing. Suicide bombers would only kill or injure themselves. It is an act of cowardice beyond description. Ghandi changed an entire continent without violence. These Ahmeds who blow themselves up and kill others are low life, scumbag, cowardly little girls who don't have the courage to make changes through reason and discussion.

Deckape, you are an anti semitic tool. The FACT is, like it or not, the UN recognized Israel as a sovereign nation. They have done more than anyone ever expected to give the Palestinians a land of their own and EVERY time the Palestinians move into this land, they use it to stage attacks on Isreal. They are the aggressors here, you history-challenged moron.

Answer 3

Well, killing yourself and a bunch of random people would have to be a pretty bad outcome i would of thought. It doesnt matter how many palestinian suicide bombers or (others) kill themselves and other innocent people, it will not change one iota the stance of who the actioned was aimed at. In the case of the US and Israel, it will only make matters worse. It will only galvanize them against the enemy - and justify all sorts of horrors. it is not an act of bravery or martydom for those confused. It is an act of hatred against humanity...nothing can excuse it. I am sympathetic to oppressed people everywhere, but i cannot condone the murder of innocent people under any circumstance.

Answer 4

Suicide bombing is only done by a dis-ordered mind people. These terrorists are so fanatic in their Islam religion and so this is the way they are propagating their faith to their Allah. This has already proven many times over for a long long time since the lineage of Ismael, son of Hagar and Abraham came. Stamp in the Bible (Genesis 17-21) And so more are coming in perillus times which will greatly occur in the coming seven years Tribulation after the Rapture.

Answer 5

I wonder how you would look at it if your family was on a bus a suicide bomber just blew up. Religion drives a man to such extremes in the name of god is the most horrible act one can commit on unsuspecting people, IT IS A COWARD just like KKK members of old under there sheets sneaking around at night. In the name of hate is what it is not god.

Answer 6

cowardice
Anyone can die for a "perceived" cause.
Death is amazingly easy... especially when employing the use of explosive devices.
Once a person is dead, they're not involved in any way with the problem they were seeking to solve.
No pain.
Nothing.
Meanwhile, the living are still suffering.
It takes courage to choose to live through tough times and to fight to effect change.

**EDIT**
And I whole-heartedly agree that suicide bombers are nothing more than homicide bombers. Suicide is taking one's own life. Dying for a cause is also taking one's own life. Killing others -innocent civilians- is homicide, plain and simple.

Answer 7

It's not politically correct, but the fact of the matter is that it's bravery. That of course doesn't justify the actions of a terrorist. A suicide bomber has bravely committed murder by killing himself also. That is evil.

Answer 8

great bravery for a cause if you support the cause.

Its the same as bombing people with planes like Israel did in Lebanon, destroying everything in its path, because they were to coward to do the correct things like pack up and go back to Germany where they belong

Answer 9

It's a act of complete inhuman stupidity! Used by elder Muslim clerics and terrorist leaders to induce young men to commit suicide and murder against the Muslim faiths teachings! Such a shame!

Answer 10

Its an act of cowardice. The person wants to die, so they make a big deal of it because they never seemed important enough. But now they are, because everyone will know abour their death.
