Why are suicide bombers almost always Muslim?

[YmirGF]

Really?

That you feel that way serves to make my point all the more relevant, because this issue is absolutely not akin to asking for proof that water is wet. Well, unless you are one of those people who thinks that all Muslims are terrorists by definition. If that's the case, I truly have no words.

Really. If you had read the link provided by @9-10ths_Penguin you could not have missed the pertinent comments...

"It is right that more suicide bombers today belong to Islam than any other religion, but their general levels of religiosity and particularly knowledge of Islam is up for debate."

"Yes, today, many suicide bombers are Muslims, and many suicide bombers refer to religion as justification for their acts. The havoc and human suffering they cause cannot be underplayed or negated. However, the victims are mostly among their Muslim brethren."

Um, that IS pretty clear. BTW, who claimed that all Muslims are terrorists? I'm usually pretty clear that the terrorists are more fanatical than they are religious.

... which was made after my post, the purpose of which was to get people to pause and consider what evidence there is of claims before accepting the premises required by the discussion. Is it truly that outrageous to ask people to back up the assumption train and think critically by reviewing evidence or asking for citations? That is what the post was intended to prompt. I'm not sure why you are having a problem with that, or why you would find it funny. I'm guessing you missed the point of that post.

I accept correction. I should have at least provided a link.

Nah, lots of people don't cite sources or care about how the data frequently mismatch our personal experiences or perceptions of things. In most cases I don't particularly care considering this isn't exactly an academic discussion board, but for things along these lines, I tend to be a bit more fussy about it. There is more than enough animus directed at Muslims and I feel no need to add to it. Suicide attacks have been used throughout human history by various groups, and the why's complicated. It's not a topic that interests me enough that I'd go out of my way to research it. When I was studying things like World War II and needed to write a paper for it, I didn't write a paper on Japanese suicide bombers, I wrote a paper on American internment camps. Not sure what that says about me.

Because other types of bombers know how to do it without getting themselves killed.

WOW. You really believe there is no Islamic Authority condemning Suicide Bombing? really?

Every single Islamic scholar I have ever come across has condemned it. As for central authority? Even the Mufti of the Grand Mosque in Makkah has condemned it, so has the one in Medina - and not just them, but their predecessors also. The oldest university in the world which is also one of the most established centers for Islamic Education, and a leader in procuring Scholars from within the Islamic sphere of influence - Al Azhar University in Egypt has always condemned it as well.

So when you claim - "No central authority" - I have no idea what you are entertaining. But to me it sounds like ignorance. Again, it can be forgiven. All it takes is a little education, and I have pointed you in the right direction. Ruling on blowing oneself up - islamqa.info <headsup

God bless.

Maybe you want to talk a bit about what the Grand Muftis of Jerusalem teach? Both the current one and the past ones?

They are not from the "Authority" you claim they are, so no. You're going to doubtful places to learn your bias!

You should watch this short video:

Honestly, I have no idea why you would expect that to be a rebutal.

I expect it to be "educational", I'm not here to rebut your bias, but to help educate your opinion.

The fact remains, Muslims account for 20% of humans on this planet. If Islam is a violent ideology, then the Muslims would have killed everyone else off already, wouldn't take a nuke - it would just take one Muslim to kill 4 people and badabing badaboom... but no, we are here living among you in peace. All you have is a warped bias whcih is so unsound, it makes you look rather uneducated. You need to work on your logic. Because all I'm seeing is bad thought processes coming from you.

If you wanna learn about Islam - go to a Muslim, not an extremist claiming to be one! Find the mean average between the scholastic circles and not the fringe maniac as you have done! lol.

Peace!

Why are most terrorists who Target innocent people in our current age Muslim? Why do Muslims cut off hands and stone adulterers but other faiths don't?

It's true that most Muslims aren't terrorists, but most terrorists are Muslim. Why is that?

In 2015 four Islamic extremist groups were responsible for 74% of all deaths from terrorism: ISIS, Boko Haram, the Talibanand Al-Qaeda, according to the Global Terrorism Index 2016

Define "terrorist"? I thought we were specifically discussing "suicide bombers".

Once you define "terrorist", I will qualify your bias and then attempt to show you the fallacy of your statement!

PopeADope, don't entertain a fearful narrative designed to abuse your intellect!

You're ignoring the elephant in the room - Imperialist Agenda's designed to give you a bogey man while - the imperial powerhouse - foment more war around the world. Who is really terrorizing who?

I'll define terrorist as I'm thinking about it. Someone who targets civilians and kills the innocent with a religious motive.

Wrong, religion has nothing to do with terrorism. You need to relearn your definitions. Choose your dictionary, don't invent it to fit your bias.

In other words, educate your opinion, don't abuse it!

Why aren't other Religions instituting laws that cut off hands, kill homosexuals, and stone adulterers?

That is laughable if it wasn't so sad! Religion is the motive behind much terrorism

You're off topic, stick with the programme or risk looking like you are trying to cover your embarrassment.

There are other topics which discuss this exact question, this thread is about suicide bombers, I've already let you meander away to "terrorists" which you define as "religiously motivated" lol. You're not fooling me pope.

My turn to ask questions:

Why have the imperial west killed more people in the past 100 years than any other group? Is it because they are terrorizing the world in the guise of policing it?

I don't expect you to take this topic more off topic by actually answering this!
