Dying to Kill Us
By Prof. Robert Pape, University of Chicago
Research shows that Islamic fundamentalism or religion generally
has not been the cause of suicide terrorism. Rather nearly all cases
are found to be effective towards a "secular and strategic goal:
to compel ... democracies to withdraw military forces from territory
that the terrorists consider to be their homeland." Thus the current
U.S. approach in the Mideast is liable to increase suicide terrorism.
