They are courageous in the sense that they are willing to lay down their lives for their cause, but are bastards for killing people that have nothing to do with their struggle. I do remember that episode with Maher, he said that the Pilots bombing from high altitude are the real cowards, I don't agree with him on this, they are just smarter. I mean why kill your self if you can do all that damage without having to die?

Courageous? Who can say? But it pains me that so many young people, with their whole lives ahead of them, feel compelled to end it in this fashion. And maybe thats what we should really be asking-why would someone feel desperate enough to end their lives in this fashion? Perhaps because they have no hope that things will ever improve?

My Two Cents.
They believe that when they die, they will go to a better place anyway... so they dont really need to be brave, thanks to their mindset. Pressing the detonation button for them must be as easy as stepping on a bus. They both take you to a different place.
personally, i think the whole afterlife crock is a load of bull****e. good ridance to them, and im glad that their last earthly remains have to be scraped off the walls. its a pity that they have to take others with them though.

I don't think there is any question that there is a substantial amount of bravery to actually carry out a suicide bombing because of the fact they don't fear death.
HOWEVER, the main question is one of morality. If a suicide bomber goes after soldiers or thugs that can fight back then their actions are honourable; for example, a suicide bomber that attempts to destroy a warship (e.g. Japanese kamikazes), military barracks (e.g. 1982 attack on the USMC barracks in Lebanon) or mafia/biker gang party. But for those whose targets are children and other unarmed civilians, those persons have a severe lack of moral courage to do things better and are thus dishonourable agents of satan that deserve to burn in hell.

There is no difference between crashing planes into buildings and carpet bombing a civilian area...if you think there are differences then you are brainwashed...it is simple logic...you bomb me then i will bomb you...
I dont agree with killing innocent civilians...but when your opponent has no regard for human life so be it... It is a war and it s a bloody one.

Hi,
Courageous ? Coward ? that is word used to evaluate normal person. Those word are not relevant to the the kamikaze as most of them are probably NOT normal: they are nuts.
Now why and how they become crazy, that's an other question...

First off, I'd like to say that I think Mehrer is a moe-ron. Can't stand the S.O.B. Second, he's dead wrong. How the hell can he call them brave when they believe they are going to have sex with young virgins on the other side?. If I believed that I'd crash the plane and do it with a hard-on as well!.

It depends on who they kill. If they kill soldiers they are courageous because they are willing to kill they enemy even if it costs there own lives. If they kill civilians no mater what age they are cowards because civilian cant defend themselves when they have an ak-47 shoved in there face and when there are explosives all around you.

But then again they are overcoming the thing that humans fear the most, and doing so with pleasure. Doestn't that qualify as brave?
