The Psychology of the Suicide Bomber.

The Psychology of the Suicide Bomber.

Introduction.

Although the media phrase “Suicide Bombing” derives it’s context often from the populist sentiment decisively thought to be cowardly and cruel. This has the aimed effect as things stand, of informing the public of the concept in its realism and immediacy.

The trans-literative term “Martyrdom Operation” as adhered to by Jihadists and other Muslims of that sympathetic vein, is when considered objectively as suggestive of a planned scheme for militarised action. Gilded as this is successively; to specific cultural notions of values typifying something of Hero-Worship, the Persuation to Sacrifice, plus ultimately to the right of Self-Determination according to the will of a people.

I have taken some time in thinking about how to approach writing upon a topic like this; conclusively reaching a point in my own mind, achieving a certain success in disseminating in the first  instance, what are straightforward and frank, hostilities aligned with such discussions. 

What we have to do, is to take some time to look at the possible ways anyone’s subjectivity might turn, in respect to drifting towards “Islamic Radicalism”. 

It is not essentially a form of pathology which pushes an individual to carry out such actions, but often the result  initially arising from feeling ostracized from society.

That aspects to their sense of identity are gradually becoming undermined in the context of interpreting stereotypical presentations in a way that suggests that all Muslims are unstable and barbaric in nature. 

On the other hand, the position of the judicial edicts used in Islam (known as hadiths) would ultimately specify a male’s or female’s ways to proper conduct; bringing certain prefixs to heed in terms of how the daily social experience of practising the faith might well pan out. 

The question of affecting proportions of one’s subjectivity is a very delicate issuse. For example, the outlook of an individual who is susceptible to absorbing facets of ideologies which are designed to inspire destruction, thus having them volunteer for “Martyrdom Operations, would:

(1) Heavily depend on their own propriority as a believer to that faith.

(2) Their propensity towards becoming offended.

(3) To levels of provocation, holding to the context of the political circumstances.

(4)  To whether ”Disfranchisement to economic opportunities are relevant or not.

No vindication of these attacks is offered throughout the writing of this piece, or neither support for any cause. But with that said, the use of a good analysis towards pointing out signifiers; does provide significance which is then able to be incorporated into the justifications given to such events.  Some level of clear scrutiny is needed therefore, in order that confusion never reigns over us completely. 

My use of the word “Psychology” within the heading to this essay, was included in the main to give some idea of how the components to a person’s reasoning may change under forces which are causing them to feel oppressed. 

One particular benchmark, to actually perceiving whether a statement may be true or false, can carry some indication through the creditabilty of it’s spoken source. 

The readings and talks given by Imams within UK mosques have been examined recently for their content, together with a legal requirement being imposed to ensure that with every meeting held in mosques, the imams (as speakers) recite what they say in the English language.

The national identity of the United Kingdom has in itself a fluid character – with the nurturing of a British Asian/Muslim adherence to the country’s standing included.

Part of the process towards successful integration therefore entails permitting a natural assimilation to occur of all ethnic groups Allowing for religious conversions to a reasonable extent, to be endorced by the society at large, but with the strict requirement of only Islamic moderate thought being legitimised.

A statement given by the Muslim Council of Britain within a publication of a policy paper entitled “Electing to Listen”, and written to underscore a promotion of a notion of British Islam states:

“As the debate on our national identity intensifies, young Muslims, like everyone else, need the space and encouragement to formulate their own reference to Britishness. The debate as it stands – imposed by the media and certain politicians – stifles the ability to discover one’s own national identity.”

(Quote from pamphlet by the MCB)

What is said in the context of this statement I very much agree with.  the workings and appearance of British National Identity has an extremely aloof quality attached to it.  There are times when the dynamics of it’s existence, demonstratively project a character of non-relevance and ambivalence, which ulteriorly provokes something of a angry socialised reponse in people. 

My reasons for this opinion stem from holding some reproach for ideas, orginating from the traditions, resting in support of English Liberalism, which I feel are damaging the standing of the country. 

 I personally would be very prepared to see a new British Constitution drawn together, having better standards of representation devised for the many ethnic groups.

Proposals for each area of Liberal Democratic Culture to be legislated for; so that the notion of being in defence of a person’s rights and freedoms,  would not then automatically have to contend with any strand of contradiction or hypocrisy.  By modifying statutory elements of ideology in this way, it would be hoped that a clear set of differentials, would begin to help separate the definitions attributed to “Liberal Thinking” from that of “Secularism”. Of which I regard is an important change to make. 

The sections of social phenomenon that need desparately to be challenged and scrutinized for their measure of undesirable influence are concealed within the: 

(1) Gun Crime Culture

(2) Availability and Market for Illegal Street Drugs.

(3) Sex Work. The issuing of penalties first of all to act as a warning. Prior to any act of sentencing being applied. 

The use and purpose of the penalties would be designed to tarnish one’s reputation in terms of your professional/leisure related identity.
