Perhaps I'm just dense but I cannot get my mind behind the reasoning of strapping explosives to ones body and then blowing them – and oneself – up.
Perhaps it is that the life that person lives is so horrid that they believe they will have a better life if they kill others – non believers – and themselves. At least that seems to be the programming from leaders of the Muslim society – the “teachers” who play such an important part in their lives.
And then there is this – how can any sane human being talk someone else, especially young people with their lives ahead of them – to kill themselves? In the name of a religious belief. A religion claiming to be one of peace.
I wish someone who supports the cult could explain to me the positive side of doing this. Don't give me platitudes and quotes from your so-called holy book. Give me a real reason why anyone should shorten their lives and that of others who have no idea of what or why they are victims.

The same way some people are "divinely inspired" and driven to do great things that save lives of others, there are those given dark tasks to do as part of the learning curve humanity also has to go through.
Some people are just programmed to kill, and if you look at the depictions of what the hijackers did on 9/11, their prayers beforehand included praying to be forgiven.
So this is like Judas being called as the one to betray Jesus,
because if his sacrifice never happened then humanity couldn't be saved.
Some things are meant to happen so this pushes humanity toward better in the future. When we forgive and let go, we can deal with the parts we are supposed to correct and improve on.
Some parts in the script of life are written where tragedies happen, people die too young, innocent lives are lost, so the next chapter brings motivation to move forward in positive ways and do better next time.
We can agree to love each other more.
Forgive each other more.
Embrace our differences and help our neighbors work through grievances in civil constructive ways that restore justice and rebuild relations instead of destroy out of protest.
Instead of being angry we need our compassion to be greater and overpower that anger where it is like the ocean drowning out anything else in comparison.
When our love is greater than our fear, then more good will come out of it and we will not see as many negative angry things done out of retaliation, ill will, and unforgiveness. We can uproot and replace all the negative causes and sources with positive and clean out the garden of weeds so only the good things grow and bloom in abundance. the unwanted weeds will eventually lose out to love and goodness that take over and multiple pushing anything negative out of the way.
May more love, more wisdom more insights and inspiration be yours that we may grow forward from this day and become a closer more collaborative society. As we resolve conflicts and divisions, we get rid of weak spots and we strengthen the fabric of society. The more we connect, the more good will and healing energy flows, then this wards off the negative impulses that seek to reject and destroy.
Love casts out fear.
Love conquers all. Love never fails.
