Why are there so many suicide bomber? why don't they fear death?

Question

I have heard too many suicide bomb attack, They all died. but why don't they fear death? I have never seen suicide bomb attack in my country, because the people here fear death……

Answer 1

Suicide bombers believe that they are martyrs, that they and their family will be rewarded in the afterlife for dying for their cause. It's a little hard to wrap your mind around.

Answer 2

It's a political struggle, not a religious one. The Qur'aan doesn't say blow yourself up on a bus and you will go to heaven, it says fight oppression against Muslims and countrymen, and if you die in the process, good for you!

It's a stretch, connecting a suicide bomber blowing up a bus of israeli students to protect the soverignity of the Palestinian people. I don't see how a suicide bomber can even justify bombing a market in Baghdad through the Qur'aan. It's all political.
They just don't fear death... I don't fear death, it's not that big of a jump you know.

Answer 3

Well if you are illiterate, taught from birth to be totally submissive to all who are "wiser" then you. You are poor. You are told that you will get to meet girls. Your family will get some amount of cash, a sum so big that you could not earn it at your current wage in 100 years. And you will be puff up to be a hero ---

Would you not put yourself out of misery? Not everyone in the world lives with running water, electricity that works nearly 24/7, have so much food you are overweight.

Also some cultures see dying for a principle a moral thing to do?

Do you fear death? Why?
You should know by now that you will not escape his realm --- so why fear Death?

Why do you want to live in fear --- Why not live life out to its normal end because living gives you a chance at Joy --- Joy is truly a Divine gift. Seek to fit it daily.

Answer 4

They don't fear death for two reasons. Their current life is pretty miserable. They believe they get to have sex with a bunch of virgins in heaven if they murder a bunch of people in the name of Allah. And because they have been pulled along into a hysterical state by their religious leaders. I saw this thing about a teenage boy who survived his suicide bombing attack. He basically said he didn't really want to, but it was expected of him, and he wanted people to be proud of him, and he was more afraid of the people who were directing him to do it than he was of death.

Answer 5

I understand it's not because they actually want to die. It's that for many of them, their families will be provided for if these people go through with blowing themselves up. Many suicide bombers come from poor families and have few other opportunities in their lives. For them, this is a way of doing something that will make them heroes to many other people. Another reason for suicide bombers is that for the women, it is a way to go out in a blaze of glory instead of living miserable lives begging on the streets. Many have lost their husbands to wars and they know that they will not be able to find another because they are not virgins and they live in societies that prize virginity. I'm not condoning this in any way but it shows clearly the sort of desperation many of these people feel in that they are actually willing to kill themselves this way.

Answer 6

a true muslim doesnt fear death. a muslim will die for his or her religion without any fear because he or she knows that his or her religion is true and there is no mistakes it (ISLAM). In islam, if u commit suicide, u go to hell forever no matter what religion u r. but they have no choice but to commit suicide because usa entered iraq and afghanistan and they dont have enough weapons to fight against the americans to protect their homeland so they must do this to kill off as many invaders as possible wit one bomb BUT they are killing more muslims than the enemy and that's not right. no offense to u or any american, if usa never entered afghanistan and iraq, then there would be no suicide bombings anywhere. this has never happened before until 2001 and 2002. Islam teaches peace but when its war time, u must kill the enemy or the enemy will kill u. suicide bombing is horrible, they will go to hell for this but look at it from their point of view, they must do it to protect their family from invaders that's the only way they could do it. but it WRONG. ISLAM IS AGAINST IT. THEY have no choice

Answer 7

For one thing, they're probably suicidal - they want to off themselves. Suicidal = depressed. For another thing, they're probably angry - ergo the willingness to murder other people.

Most suicide bombers are Muslim, but traditional Islam actually forbids suicide, so you can't blame it on the normal form of that religion. Unfortunately, there are these nutcases who are spreading the idea that suicide bombing (aka murdering infidels) is something that is justified under Islam, and will be rewarded rather than punished in the afterlife.

Answer 8

Is it fear of death or enjoyment of life? If your life is horrible and you are brought up to hate people who are different from you and your parents tell you that God will take you to Paradise for killing those others???
Have you seen a video of Palestinian nursery school? It is harsh. The kids sing and chant about killing their enemies. No sharing and hugs. Allah wants us to kill the pigs...

In some parts of the world there is no future in this world. You need to be a "martyr", which I would classify as a murderer, to go to Heaven or Paradise.

These are people who laugh at us because we enjoy the life we are given in this world. It's a warrior culture. Kid you ever read of how the Nazis searched for the Aryan cultures of the past to learn how to get their troops and society better prepared for the
sacrifices ahead? Many Nazis went to the Middle East .

Answer 9

There are so manu suicide bombers because they were trained at a young age to commit suicides. They don't fear death because they are persuaded that it's best for them to sacrifice their own lives so they can kill as many people as possible.

Answer 10

Nothing to live for no choice no one to listen to frustrations at job losses. Human Supremacy could be reason as well for the reason it takes away everyone's rights.The Belief In Human Supremacy can be defined as the belief that Humans are The Master Race destined to use everybody and everything for monetary gain that beyond that everthing or anyone else either has no value or is treated like an obstacle.
