Suicide bombers follow Quran, concludes Pentagon briefing Tasked with pinpointing motivation, analysts find terrorists 'rational actors' following 'holy book' Posted: September 27, 2006

With suicide bombings spreading from Iraq to Afghanistan, the Pentagon has tasked intelligence analysts to pinpoint what's driving Muslim after Muslim to do the unthinkable.
Their preliminary finding is politically explosive: it's their "holy book" the Quran after all, according to intelligence briefings obtained by WND.
In public, the U.S. government has made an effort to avoid linking the terrorist threat to Islam and the Quran while dismissing suicide terrorists as crazed heretics who pervert Islamic teachings.
"The terrorists distort the idea of jihad into a call for violence and murder," the White House maintains in its recently released "National Strategy for Combating Terrorism" report.
But internal Pentagon briefings show intelligence analysts have reached a wholly different conclusion after studying Islamic scripture and the backgrounds of suicide terrorists. They've found that most Muslim suicide bombers are in fact students of the Quran who are motivated by its violent commands – making them, as strange as it sounds to the West, "rational actors" on the Islamic stage.

In Islam, it is not how one lives one's life that guarantees spiritual salvation, but how one dies, according to the briefings. There are great advantages to becoming a martyr. Dying while fighting the infidels in the cause of Allah reserves a special place and honor in Paradise. And it earns special favor with Allah.
"Suicide in defense of Islam is permitted, and the Islamic suicide bomber is, in the main, a rational actor," concludes a recent Pentagon briefing paper titled, "Motivations of Muslim Suicide Bombers."

I'm blown away by this revelation. Pretty explosive stuff.
OK, I couldn't resist. But I just heard the koudest chorus of "D'uh"s in my life.
Take it back!! You better take it back or we will blow you up!
Well thank God they've identified the enemy! Now go about destroying them (quietly though, there are idiots within our own borders that evoke "freedom of religion" to protect these bastards).
In other news scientists have discovered that water is wet.
Everyone should read "ISLAM and TERRORISM" by Mark Gabriel (changed his name, as the Islamists would have him murdered if they could get hold of him.) VERY insightful.
There IS a way to deal with it, but it's ugly and it doesn't fit into any sort of a yuppie rules of war manual: you go after the suicide bomber's family, and you go after his body. You bury the SOB in a box with the remains of a pig, publically, and you kill every member of his immediate family. You'd only have to do it once or twice.
global jihad bump
We are engaged in a war with all muslims just
most of them are cowards but all of them are liars.
You too Funny!! That's XACTLY whar I said after reading the 1st sentence!
I think that article was written by someone doing some in-depth research on the properties of medical marijuana.
Moderates are taught the same as the terrorists, the difference being the latter acts on their teachings and the former sympathyzes.
I'll wait for a better source than World Nut Daily.
Sounds like we'll have to get rid of the smart ones first.
Yep, it's a death cult alright...
Might be an opportunity though. We should be able to kill a whole bunch more of them. "We" in that sentence could very likely include more than our uniformed trigger pullers, cannon cockers and bomb droppers.
"Suicide in defense of Islam is permitted, and the Islamic suicide bomber is, in the main, a rational actor,"
Well, it's not so strange. One could Draw parallels with the Japanese Kamikaze suicide bomber, who sacrificed in the name of his Emperer. Certainly a "rational," act -- although I don't think that Imperial Japan went out of there way to target civilians.
But spending money on it, and it may not have been all that much, the intell wienies were drawing a paycheck anyway, makes it at least semiofficial, even if not (yet?) approved at the multiple levels required for an "official" result.
TYPO:
"their" way NOT "there" way!
