suicide and suicide bombing are two different deaths with different intentions.\n\n\nSuicide is a means to an end dear.  A poor choice, a poor last resort.\n\nSuicide bombing is death with a so-called "holy mission" to achieve.  Suicide bombers normally focus on their mission and believe it's for a greater purpose.  Also most of them believe it brings them martyrdom, while forgetting it brings the families of the victims grief and pain.

Osama bin Laden said in one of his tapes that the Muslims would eventually defeat Israel because "we love death the way they love life."  These suicide bombers don't kill themselves because anybody took their land.  They do it because somebody talks them into believing that after they commit their atrocity they will go to heaven and get 72 virgins to rape at their pleasure.  The 9/11 hijackers were all Saudis and Egyptians -- nobody took their land.  And the Palestinians who strap bombs to their children initially did it because Saadam Hussein offered $25,000 to any family whose child became a suicide bomber.  After Saadam was deposed, Hamas took over the job of rewarding the families of suicide bombers.  It is a horrible, nihilistic practice that strikes at the very heart of civilization.  It is human sacrifice.  The Muslim world should rise up and smash this death cult, and the fact that they don't makes for a strong argument that Islam needs serious reform.

If you want to committ suicide, do it yourself don't drag another human being into your reality. They are people too.

No religion supports suicide bombings. In Islam it is forbidden to kill yourself, hence tobacco is not allowed as it is deemed to be a form of suicide. Suicide bombers are not and never will be Islamic. Islam is a tolerant religion that has been bastardised in the same way as Christianity was in the days of the Inquisition. It would pay for more moderate Muslims to speak up on this subject, but Peace and love do not sell news copy as well as fear and hate.

Suicide Bombers = Terrorists who kill others along with themselves.\n\nMurderers = People who kill others with or without reasons.\n\nMartyrs = People who choose to die for their beliefs, religious and/or political, without the use of violence (attacks and counter-attacks); in other words, they choose to be "sacrificed" willingly like Jesus.\n\nThus, suicide bombers are NEITHER murderers NOR martyrs, they are Terrorists.

A suicide bomber's faith can be found just as true as any other man's faith. It's quite ignorant for you to make such an assertion.\n\nI never claimed that it would justify his cause, I am simply stating that you can not prove that his faith is false. It is just as true as anyone else's. Maybe you should try reading sometimes. It really helps.

No...It is not the same thing!  They are not committing suicide for their country...they are committing suicide for their religion - not country! Americans who die for their country are making that sacrifice to defend the liberty and freedom that our nation and its people hold dear. A muslim commits suicide to instill fear and to kill and maim innocent men, women and children on purpose. There is a definite difference. They claim "death to the infidel". Do you know who an infidel is? It is anyone who does not bow the knee to allah...they are an infidel. They will even kill there own people to espose their view and impose their will. According to their own teachings...an infidel is not worthy to breathe the air that allah has provided. There is a difference and you'd better know it. It's not the same thing. There will come a day when it will matter. Don't believe the hype...our greatest threat is radical Islam.

It is forbidden to intentionally kill oneself. The person will repeat their act over and over in hellfires.

;when people commit suicide its like their brains quit working and they aren't really thinking thru things if anything if they were thinking and they believed in God then they would not do it because if God wanted them he would take them but they are doing it themselves.  Suicide might not hurt the person that is doing it but it will destroy a family of that victim

because they live in a place where lives are being lost everyday (children too), and they believe that this act is the only way to bring the world's attention to what they feel is a great wrong. becoming a suicide bomber is using the only weapon you've got left: yourself. it is the act of a "true believer"--someone who believes so strongly in their cause that dying is a positive thing to them. not only that, people that they respect (sometimes their own mothers) will call them a martyr, and they will be considered heroes. (songs will be written about them, and paintings honoring their name will go up on walls in their neighborhoods.)\n\nimagine a world where whole neighborhoods are being bulldozed by an army that considers you an enemy--even considers your grandparents, your small children, a danger to them. you feel trapped by economics--can't shop for food in town or work because there are checkpoints between your home and those places. you have known friends and family who have died simply for being Palestinian, or Iraqi. you feel a terrible sense of injustice. and just down the road from your place, people gather, and a religious teacher talks about a way out. everyone says he's a fanatic, but you think, maybe there i will feel like i'm doing *something.* it just seems like you've taken enough lying down. and the people you elect to lead you end up becoming corrupt or ineffectual. what do you do? how do you get your freedom? you have never known what it's like to feel truly free. and so you go to the gathering of people who are very religious. what they say makes sense to you, even if it is violent. after all, what other way is there? one day, your home is destroyed. some of your family members die. and when someone suggests that there's a way to act for God that will help your people, a way that ends your own life, what will you do? \n\nnot everyone is so strong as to believe that patience and peace is the way to freedom. the evidence against it is all around them.

Good question!\n\nI don't know the number of suicide bombers to date.\n\nBut there was that Davidian cult in Waco where they all 57 killed themselves.  Guess it's more than that.\n\nBut given that those without religion (ie atheists) are more likely to commit suicide (whether lack of hope or just plain greater proportion of the population) - it's gonna be them to be honest.\n\nQuestion is which deaths serves more purpose?

I understand what your point is, but I also think that when a person is going through ideas of suicide, the person's judgment is not at its best at all.  It may seem like a solution to problems at that moment, but when a person goes into that mindframe, it is good for another person to help take over and not let something bad happen.\nA friend of mine killed herself by hanging herself. She must have felt there was no way she could deal with her life or be happy. I would not want my friends to live that way, but I also think that dark moods will pass and there will come other things and chances in life to bring more happiness. My friend will never know what those things could have been. I don't know if I'd call her "selfish" for killing herself. But I don't think she chose the best way to handle her grief.

Its not suicide as such, they get attracted to light and do not move from there, and hence making themselves easy prey for humans and animals.\n\nYes, as per an earlier answer it could be confusing of their signals (Electro magnetic signals , which give them direction during migration), or defective genes as said earlier.

People commit suicide for different reasons but it is mainly an act of desperation. People cannot see a way out of their problem or situation and suicide seems like the only answer.\nIt is a way of escaping from what people do not want to face.\n\n"Suicide is the last act of a free human" - \nUnfortunately I cannot remember where this quote is from...\n\nGood Luck.

personally, i think that some forms of mental illness can come and go pretty quickly. i think that you have to be in some state of mental illness to want to commit suicide, and the same goes for killing someone (other than self-defense kind of thing). if one is in extreme, chronic pain, then i think that's the only circumstance in which one can commit suicide without being mentally ill. it's important to remember that even depression is a mental illness. depression is a chemical imbalance in one's brain, and that's not different than some conventional sicknesses (e.g. stress can cause a chemical imbalance in one's stomach which can lead to physical sickness). i think that too many of us fear the stigma of the phrase "mental illness" and therefore play down things that are truly mental illnesses.

How about because they have had women freely sign up to be suicide bombers children as young as eight have been suicide bombers as well. In Iraq families are praised by their neighbors for sacrificing themselves or their children for the cause. It is always sad to see but it does happen the rules of war over there are very different from our own beliefs. And yes sadly enough some are just innocents that are killed. \nConsider though these people are usually mistakenly killed whereas they target us specifically. They have tortured, mutilated, and beheaded both men and women over there, and those people were not even a part of the war in many cases. In fact most were there as peace workers to help provide aide.
