Yesterday, I found an intersting article on a study by Robert Pape, a professor of political science at the University of Chicago. In his book “Dying to win-The Logic of Suicide Terrorism” Pape argues that most suicide bombings are not reduced to religious or idiological believes. Instead they can be attributed to a strong feeling of anger which is caused by violence and the occupation of the person’s country by a foreign force.
