The Cult of the Suicide Bomber Anyone see it 13 year old Iranian boy in war with Iraq strapped himself with explosives and threw himself under a tank blowing it and himself up. Now he's an absolute legend in Iran. His mam seemed really proud about it
Re: The Cult of the Suicide Bomber a lot of british parents are proud when their sons die for the country.... pride and grief often go hand in hand.
Re: Re: The Cult of the Suicide Bomber very true... if anything, suicide bombers like the boy have MORE pride as they are choosing this fate - rather than being sent into battle by a government to fight for a cause they may not agree with. However, suicide bombers on civilian 'soft' targets is pathetic and cowardly
Re: Re: Re: The Cult of the Suicide Bomber I believe sacrficing ones life for a cause some one is so passionate commands a degree of respect... but as you said a lot of the times it civilian targets... which is sickening.
Re: Re: The Cult of the Suicide Bomber I know but at 13 years old when he's still just a boy. The mothers actually sign something giving them permission to go and fight
I dont agree with children as they can be easily manipulated. But then not living in those circumstances its hard to get your head around such desperation.
