Suicide Terrorism & Religion

[Polaris]

I haven't watched the video, but for a long time I have felt that Islam is not the cause for the bombings. It is the mechanism by which they convince others to give up their life. The causes appear to be political, not religious.

That is the case with almost all conflict. Religion is almost never the cause, just the excuse. Same goes for ethnic differences. One ethnic group has the resources another group wants. Of course those who are actually doing the killing are tricked into fighting. Same thing with the intervention of the United States...we are tricked into thinking it is for peaceful purposes rather than for oil.
