De groep al-Tawhid wa al-Jihad (Eenheid en Jihad) dreigt Nederland met aanslagen als het haar troepen niet terugtrekt uit Irak. “”U zult verrast zijn door de islamitische aardbeving die uw land zal opschrikken. U heeft geen lessen geleerd van Spanje en andere landen. U verstaat alleen de taal van bloed en autobommen.””

Holy Avengers – The Rise of Religious Terrorists

A report on the question why do some people (in this case adherents of a religion) believe they have a moral mandate to murder by Jessica Stern. The report looks into the motives of christian anti-abortion activists, muslim suicide bombers. A feeling of humiliation, a “basket” of emotional, spiritual and financial rewards and manipulating people with an enticing mission are key elements.

‘De Egyptenaar’: terreurcel in ons land ontbonden – telegraaf.nl [Binnenland]
MADRID – In Nederland heeft een groep van moslimextremisten paraat gestaan voor het plegen van aanslagen. Die groep is “om verschillende redenen” uiteengevallen. Momenteel bestaat de cel nog maar uit ��n persoon, iemand die “nerveus” is en net uit de gevangenis komt. Deze bekentenis van Rabei Osman Ahmed, ook wel De Egyptenaar, valt te lezen in de kranten La Repubblica (italie) en El Pais (Spanje).

Dit staat te lezen in de Telegraaf (en was te zien op het NOS-journaal).

Soft power and the psychology of suicide bombing

The Jamestown Foundation

TERRORISM MONITOR
Volume 2 Issue 11 (Jun 03, 2004)

SOFT POWER AND THE PSYCHOLOGY OF SUICIDE BOMBING

In the Jamestown Foundation Terrorism Monitor an article on the relation between real or imagined grievances and suicide attacks.

“Current political and economic conditions that policymakers are monitoring remain important although not necessarily determinant. Rather, what likely matters more is the promise of redeeming real or imagined historical grievances through a religious (or transcendent ideological) mission that empowers the militarily weak with unexpected force against enemies materially much stronger. This was as true for Jewish Zealots who sacrificed themselves to kill Romans two millennia ago as it is for modern Jihadists.”
[…]
“Shows of military strength are not the way to end the growing menace of suicide terrorism: witness the failure of Israel�s and Russia�s coercive efforts to end strings of Palestinian and Chechen suicide bombings. Rather, nations most threatened by suicide terrorism should promote democracy, but be ready to accept �democracy�s paradox�: representatives who America and its democratic allies don�t like, who have different values or ways of doing things, must be accepted as long as this does not generate violence. Democratic self-determination in Palestine, Kashmir and Iraq � or for that matter, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia � will more likely reduce terrorism than military and counterinsurgency aid. At the same time, America and its allies need to establish an intense dialogue with Muslim religious and community leaders to reconcile Islamic custom and religious law (shari�ah) with internationally recognized standards for crime and punishment and human rights.”
