The motivation behind terrorism including religious motivations for suicide bombings. (Self martyrdom)
This presentation is more about questioning and research rather than persuading own views
Do suicide bombers have the right to take the lives of people for justified reasons, in relation to their culture and religion?
For millions of Muslims living in the West, 9/11 prompted a crisis. With their faith suddenly under international scrutiny, the knee jerk reaction was to spring to the defensive. Orthodoxy suddenly became more appealing. Taken from Children of Islam, http://vod.journeyman.tv/store?p=3020&s=C hildren+of+Islam
Why do they attack us? Just because we kill them and occupy their land?! I was going to ask the same thing!
As stated in the Quran, If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in God. 8:60-61. This demonstrates that the scripture behind such radical extreme cultures shows core values that many other religions hold as important, like peace and harmony between humans throughout the world.
QURAN 44:51-55 "Verily! The righteous will be in Paradise. Among Gardens and Springs; Dressed in fine silk and also in thick silk, facing each other, and We shall marry them to Houris (maidens) with wide, lovely eyes."
