And by the way, that 4% just seems absurd.

I would think that close to 100% of human beings - let alone muslims - would have at least some sympathy for someone blowing themselves up to fight injustice.

Western culture and literature is riddled with glorifying the "suicide bomber". Think of the  drunk crop-duster in Independence Day.


There is a very slight difference when Western novelists glorify suicide attacks.
They attack the perpetrators of the evil, the bad guys, the final attack to end the wrongdoings.

Terrorists attack only the innocent, the soft target, the poor people who have probably had no input into the war.
This is simply cowardice and will always be seen as nothing but cowardice.
Hell, they even blow up their own people, how sick is that.

I realize that Muzzos do not see non Muzzos as innocent, and children are as good a target as adults, but seriously though how can anyone defend suicide attacks, ever?

Imagine if Western society decided that it would play the same way, it would only take a few nukes to eliminate the problem areas, then gradual elimination of all Muzzos could be systematically undertaken.
Mohamed (the pedophile, sociopath) has a lot to answer for.

When jihadists kill their OWN people they think they're doing them a favor as they will ALSO go directly to paradise.

It's a no-lose scenario when a suicide bomber blows up in a a market place.

Bomber goes to paradise
Any Muslims killed (of the same sect) go straight to paradise
Any infidels, heretics, apostates go straight to hell

You're making baseless assumptions about the respondents - based on ignorant stereotypes

The question, as presented in the article, should be a no-brainer: 'do you have sympathy with suicide bombing to fight injustice' (or words to that effect). Any sane human being would answer yes to that. Obviously the reason why 96% of respondents said 'no' is because there are well-known connotations with the phrase "suicide bombing", which people don't want to be associated with. But if I was asked, I would answer yes without hesitation - and definitely not because I am thinking about slaughtering kids and non-muslims.

How many of the 96% are practicing taqiyya (e.g. they agree but can't say so because of the **well-known connotations with the phrase "suicide bombing",**

4% said yes, Gandhi says yes, the qur'an says yes (the rest stifled by connotations) .

Still they (muslims and  apologists) keep protesting that it's got nothing to do with islam. (it's all the racists and islamophobes fault)

I agree, Moses.

No.

Suicide attacks by muslims are meticulously planned and executed with the sole intention of creating as much terror and mayhem as possible.

islam is a death cult which glorifies suicide, the mussie gets a room full of houris with big tits and a truckload of little boys with eyes like pearls, for his everlasting sexual pleasure.

Re your scenario: If you're going to devise an attack on some muslims who are about to rape the said little Christian kids, why go for the suicide model?

My attack would be armed to the teeth, with all precautions in place which ensures the succes of the mission with an exceptionally low (zero if possible) rate of casualities on my team.

Maajid has an interesting history - especially regarding how he became a 'born-again' progressive, and what motivated him:

https://newrepublic.com/article/128436/maajid-nawaz-really-believe

worth reading - especially for those so convinced Maajid is the messiah for the Islam reform movement.

As for Ayaan Hirsi - poor girl, she's quite confused. On the one hand she agrees with the nuckleheads that the only "true" Islam is the rape and pillage version. But then in the same breath she argues that there's no reason muslims can't transform Islam into the same kumbaya love and peace religion christianity became.

So in her latest book she's set out the 3 parts of the muslim world: the so called "Mecca muslims" (lovin' and peace'n), the ''Medina muslims" (head-hackers) - and the vast majority who are in between, waiting to be swayed by either group. She argues passionately how the Meccan muslims must take control and transform the religion away from the head-hackers. And yet, she simply can't resist pointing out that despite all her "its all up to the muslims to set the right narrative" talk - its still the head-hackers who have it right.

You miss the point.

You assume we are talking about the "Islamic model" of suicide bombing. Its not. All scenarios are open - the question doesn't specify anything.

You can interpret it as being a scenario in which the 'martyr' has no other option than to kill himself - as the only way to stop the killers.

If you are going that deep into it Gandalf, perhaps you should find out what the question actually asked.

No other way?

Like to get the killing apparatus near the offenders you have to absolutely strap it on an take it in yourself?

If I can do that I can throw it over a wall into a group of them and kill them (staying alive myself)

Buy a  model airplane or truck, then with my battery operated control dump the explosives on the said criminals.

Get a decent rifle and scope and pick them off,

Get a grenade launcher and take them out.

The same thing with a rocket launcher.

Suicide achieves nothing, there are a lot of ways to inflict damage on your enemy without suicide.

Indeed - I was just going by what the breitbart article said - who I'm guessing  would have taken the opportunity to highlight as many incriminating facts as they could.

Stereotypes, what the hell is an Islamic suicide bomber other than a stereotype.
The main purpose is to kill as many as possible so as it "Incite Terror"
They have no other target other than killing as many as possible and creating as much terror as possible.

They do not target the cause of their woes, because they are cowards.
They do not attack the leaders, because they are cowards.
They are chained to the explosives , because the cowardly Imran devil worshipers know that the cowards will run away of they could.

This cult of fear and cowardice has little to offer other than pain, suffering and desperation.
Its no secret that most countries that are muslem are destitute and have very low skills.
The only exception is only that way through oil.

We offer them a place to escape from their troubles - they bring them with them.
We go out of our way to help them - they insult and threaten us.
We give them money and houses - they steal and commit fraud

The muslem religion is nothing but grief, war, murder, and pedophilia.
Religion of peace, read that as pieces, all over the place.

Thanks for that, I'll read about Maajid later. I've never thought of him as the messiah, but after he pimped himself around last year when his book with Harris was released, I suspected he was self serving. I also tend to take with a grain of salt people that bounce from one end of the court to the other but I'll take what he says at face value.

I do however feel what he says is a good conversation opener, hoping more from others will follow.

As for Ayaan Hirsi, I haven't read her yet, on my list but what I find pretty worrying is the reaction she elitists from those you call 'knuckle heads'. (I'd use a harsher term)
