Why do people fear death?

    The jihadi suicide bombers welcome death.
    Personally I think they lack the courage to live. The fact that they kill others too is imho despicable. Isil are getting their rewards in lead not gold - in the form of bullets.
    Serves them right, they get no sympathy from me.

  3. They don't kill each other by themselves for welcoming death!

    Could it be possible that there still an element of revenge/hate in the suicide acts, in order to deliver/represent an important message from them?

    Did they carry out the same acts to hurt/kill others so "frequently" all the time in the past hundred/thousand years? If not, why did they just start the series of acts at the beginning?

    When some suicide groups like the old IRA, the old Palestine bombers, etc. have stopped for some time their suicide acts, does that indicate that they had attained what they want after delivering their suicide message which was heard and remedied by their target authorities/governments?

    Without adequate reflections and analyses, any single-sided/minded response against suicide bombers could be just short-term thinking, without solving the root-cause problems, perhaps.

    My suggestion is the authority/government should respond also to any suicide bombing acts by openly announcing, other than their suicide acts are wrong and unacceptable, that the supporters of bombers should voice their message using whatever peaceful/non-violent channels they possibly could, such as X, Y, Z. Rather than suicide bombing.

    How often we hear something like that after encountering any suicide bombing acts in the past? Therefore, the next potential bombers would consider their alternatives after receiving bombing assignments/instructions!

    The alternatives X, Y, Z etc., that must be safe/secure/reliable/confidential channels similar to some existing anti-corruption channels, should be advertised publicly frequently, in order to provide effective/proper channels/alternatives for any potential bombers a place of second thought - simply human nature!

    The authorities/governments should find an effective way so that they can hear/capture the potential bombers voices in advance, with a pro-active approach. Even the same planned terror acts would still happen in their originally planned way.

    The point is say when a suicide bomber suddenly changes her/his mind during the process, is there any safe/secure way to protect her/him in order for her/him to give up the terror act from that moment? Surely there were some previous changing-mind cases before.

    Just 10 cents! LOL

  4. To elaborate on the suicide bombers: I have come to wonder why most of them were already into "secret service" files, and said to be actually "monitored".

    Many in this country are recruited for terror acts when they are inside prison.
    Yet the authorities turn a blind eye to what is going on. Being a member of a terror group should be a capital offence, including brain washing others to carry out such useless attacks. The instigators are usually overlooked so they continue with impunity. There should be no place for them to hide. Some Imans preach violence. Why spend fortunes keeping them comfortable in prison when a 10 cent bullet is all they deserve.

  6. If one assumes that "turning a blind eye" can mean condoning, allowing, and even encouraging,
    then one has to really wonder who the authorities are working for and for what agenda.

  7. I read that article about conversion inside prison. Basically there is always a better solution for any definable problem.

    Why the highly trained/paid professionals could not design a program to reverse the process by brainwashing the extremists and converting them to low risk moderate believers while they are still kept in prison?

    Perhaps new laws must be designed/installed for treating religious extremists once they are identified/evaluated by specialists/ professionals!

    Is that too hard for politicians? Knowing the potential risk and uncontrollable outcome of the existing prison system regarding religious extremists.

  8. If you guys know all the facts on the subject at hand, you would wonder who is the real terrorists us or them! But I know you do not and that because our media is controlled by people who make Joseph Goebbels look like an amateur.

    Having said that, I believe there will be no peace and no end to terrorism in Middle East unless we form a peace committee from all the mothers who have sons died in that War.

    Peace!

  9. 1. Why did he hate the Jews in Germany so much?

    2. Did the Jews commit any mass killing or aggressive wars before? Many of the Jews killed historically in the wars could possibly bring so much more contributions to the world if they survived longer.

    3. The 'Mothers of Kids Died in War' would surely have great supports from the politicians of both sides - some of them. Until starting next war - again for a good reason!
