Why is the ultimate evil of suicide bombing unique to Islam?
Because in Islam there is no certainty even if you are a good person that Allah will send you to Heaven. However if you die as a martyr for Islam you go straight to Heaven and there waiting for you will be seventy virgins and you will have the strength to deflower all of them in one night. Suicide bombers are all proclaimed martyrs. It is hardly surprising that they do this, is it!! The Koran does not say anything about the women suicide bombers. Maybe they get to be one of the virgins.
Let face it. The Majority of the Muslims do not see what you call suicide bombing suicidal. I read on this forum recently a very good answer to your question. You can retrieve copies of the answer by searching the world esinislam on Yahoo. A reference was made to an African Muslim Portal esinislam.com with useful links to articles and essays on this topic at through the said links. However, if you could not find these pages, you can visit http://www.esinislam.com The Muslim site host numbers of leading commentators and thinkers in the Muslim world.
Suicide bombing is not unique to Islam. They do it because they have little to fight with and a lot of desperation. Many people from different societies have used this terror weapon.It is nothing new, as some of our friends have pointed out. It is really sad to see this happen to both sides. Killing people with sophisticated weapons(atomic bombs) is the same if you think about it. We need a new way to settle differences; we cannot continue to kill each other.
