Thats actually not suppose to be true, hence why this situation is so unusual.

Most suicide bombers morality and thinking from 1980 on are not very different than the Japanese kamakizee pilots in WWII. They are a bunch of young nationalistic men and women who are willing to sacrifice their life for the greater good (the greater good is obviously perspective).

If you look at notes of speeches left by past suicide bombers, Hezbollah's are a great example even though I don't have any specific examples, they feel they are being forcefully occupied by a foreign nation, which has basically been true in every recent suicide bombing, and feels that the most effective way to fight this occupying country, which is also always a democracy, is suicide bombing.

There has not been a single instance recorded of a suicide bomber being forced to fulfill a mission and brainwashing is very unlikely as well since most bombers are volunteers off the street.

I can't really tell what this instance means, whether these terrorist groups had a mentally retarded woman volunteer without any forceful outside influence or whether they are not getting enough people to volunteer and are starting to prey on the weak minded now.


This book does a good job at explaining suicide terrorism:
