"Women suicide bombers in Iraq", Mona Eltahawy at UPEACE, part 3/3

[MsTruth4101]

trying to say is that people need to lift their heads out of their religious doctrine, and look at the condition of the world. There are many people with issues that need to be dealt with, there are so many countries destitute, there are so many people taking their own lives feeling their is no way out of their adversity. We ALL need to come together and stop fighting against each other because we are saying the same thing. Focus on reformation of the heart and the mind.

I was part of an organization where women wore skirts, no makeup, no earrings that was so called based on several scriptures. We thought others were wrong and we were part of the "chosen" ones in heaven. But I hated it and became very depressed and when I grew older left the church. Some refuse to speak to me, some do.

AND claiming THEY are right, being convinced that what THEY think and do with it,is Islam...

Well yeas and no: how intelligent this woman may be : she proofs to have her own perception on things. Thats why she tries to blow away the clear connection of suicide killing and islam, by saying: ANY civilisation knowes suicide killings. The way she puts it, it sounds right but it isn't. Suicide attack do not occur in the West. It needs a fanatic system or a fanatic believe like Islam. Any muslim is fanatic in his believe, otherwise he wouldn't be a muslim.

Her weakness is the same weakness that all muslims have: she absolutely avoids questioning Islam - as she's a muslim.

It is not a concidence that he first suicide warriors ever noted in history, were Muslims under Nor Edin: the so called hassjasins( les assassins): the ones that smoked hasj before throwing themseleves in the fight with the cruisaders.

For those watching this video, i recommend that, if your interested in reading up more on Suicide terrorism, read up on Robert Pape's "Dying to Win: the strategic logic of suicide terrorism" I found it pretty insightful.
