Suicide bombers & Guilt Factor

Today, I would not condone or condemn anybody. I won’t talk about Geert Wilder either. I just want input of wiser people like you on a particular issue. Yes, I want an explanation or opinions about what’s the connection between several sorts of perversion and crime (Criminal instinct). According to my humble observation, every one of us is a sort of pervert by one way or other. But right now I want to cover gays and lesbians and their vulnerability to become a tool in the hands of thugs and religiously motivated crimes against humanity. I don’t want to generalize the things and that’s why I seek your opinions. As far as my personal opinion about this type of perversion is concerned, I would say that its matter of individual freedom. I have nothing against homosexuals at personal level but my observation dictates that in most of gruesome crimes against humanity, one or more gays have been part of the act and likewise I observe that the lesbian women have in-built sadism in them.

The criminal instincts of these sorts of perverts become more dangerous when they find conducive environment or persuasion to commit something horrible. In other words they are more vulnerable target for hate-mongers and the forces who wants to use violence to achieve their objectives.    

To establish my case, I would present some figures here.  In 2005, Pakistanis witnessed a total of four suicide attacks. In 2006, there were seven and in 2007 there were 56; more than one a week. In the first 11 weeks of 2008, there have been 17 suicide attacks; an annualized rate of 80. In 2005, casualties of terrorist violence in Pakistan numbered 648. In 2006 and 2007, casualties jumped to 1,471 and 3,599, respectively. In the first 10 weeks of 2008 casualties already stand at 1,064 with a daily average of 14 and an annualized rate of over 5,000. Why these people are killing innocent people? Is there a connection between suicide attacks and lack of education? Is there a correlation between suicide attacks and poverty? Is there a connection between suicide attacks and the followers of a particular faith?  

  I would like to present a report here compiled by Professor Robert Pape of University of Chicago. The report have detailed data on age, place of origin, residence, educational background, socioeconomic status and even dietary preferences of 462 individual suicide terrorists (who undertook suicide terrorism campaigns between 1980 and 2003). Here are some surprises. Question: Is there a correlation between poverty and suicide terrorism. Answer: No. Professor Pape has demonstrated that the poverty level of individual suicide terrorists was more or less the same as the rest of the population. Question: Is there a correlation between education and suicide terrorism. Answer: No. Professor Pape has, once again, demonstrated that the level of education of individual suicide terrorists was more or less the same as the rest of the population.     In conclusion–and contrary to the common held perception–suicide terrorism has little or nothing to do with the level of education. Additionally, suicide terrorism is certainly not rooted in poverty (as is often believed). According to Professor Alberto Abadie, of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, “There is no significant relationship between a country’s wealth and level of terrorism…..” Furthermore, individual psychology has almost nothing to do with suicide terrorism. Suicide terrorism is all about group dynamics. 

Dr Yusef Yadgari, an Afghan pathologist, has studied 110 suicide bombers in Afghanistan. Dr Yadgari has found that “80 percent of the attackers had some kind of physical or mental disability.” Though the Dr. Yadgari has not given the details of that physical and mental disability, it has been learned that most of these bombers were involved in homosexual activities before falling in the hands of hate-mongers. The homosexual aptitude among those guys may have been developed as a result of tightly segregated religious seminaries and they were told that doing something big (suicide attack on kafirs) would be only way out for their salvation.  

As is always the case, a proper diagnosis of the ailment is the first step towards cure. We must, therefore, make a distinction between an ordinary extremist and a mentally or emotionally disturbed person who, to overcome his guilt, is ready to whatever he have been told. 72 virgins is a huge temptation but not enough to make someone ready to blow up himself into pieces and their must be some guilt factor working behind or may be sadistic approach is working here. Hence, the ideologically driven forces, which have extra-territorial objectives hunt for these perverts and often find them in abundance in religious schools. The next stage is to evoke a deep sense of guilt among them with blend of hatred toward “others” and finally show them a shortcut that leads to salvation.  I have presented the case which is of course highly debatable. In fact debate is what I want and I believe instead of violent demonstrations and rejectionism we can find the truth by debating on every issue intensely.

I’m not 100% sure of what conclusions you are drawing, or maybe you are just thinking out loud. But as far as the link between homosexuality and terrorism goes, Islam in the middle east allows for many types of perversions and pedophilia/pederasty is one of them. On paper, Islam teaches that homosexuality is an abomination against God, but in reality many Muslim men participate in homosexual acts with young Muslim boys. Somehow, they justify these acts because the young boys are not grown men yet. Since they are prepubescent perhaps they see them more as girls rather than as boys, so they feel they can “do as they please” with them and it doesn’t fall strictly into the category of homosexuality. I do believe that the sexual abuse many young Muslim males may suffer at the hands of older men does make a deep wounding in them when they grow up. It weakens them psychologically, stunts their emotional growth, and causes mental anguish. Sure, I can see this type of wounded person being VERY vulnerable to terrorist indoctrination.

Is that kind of where you were going? Not sure I was much help…

I was thinking also of the Afghan movie called ‘Osama’ which was the first movie made in Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban. It takes place during the Taliban-era and you can see what a horrid, wicked, backwards culture the Taliban had created. There is one scene in particular where an older imam is teaching young boys about Koranic prayer…only he takes great relish in the part where he teaches them how to purify themselves with water before prayer times. The older man is clearly lusting over these young boys, referring to one of them as being like a beautiful little nymph. It’s quite gross. But that’s Islam. They make a lot of rules and then justify breaking them.
